For panic attacks, it works! The biggest lesson you learn from it is that when you feel it coming on, instead of tensing up in fear, which makes it worse, you learn to relax, imagine you're floating on a cloud, and let it pass . Sounds simplistic and it's much cheaper than drugs, sure, but I know for a fact it works.
I can't vouch for its effectiveness on general anxiety disorder you mentioned, but for panic attacks it cranks. Might take a few weeks to train yourself, but it does work.
