Speaker Karen Muranko

Karen has personally experienced the extreme challenges one can face living with Panic Disorder.  She lived with the disorder for 20 years before she was diagnosed and an additional 10 years until she was fortunate enough to meet a group of people who helped her achieve recovery.  When she developed Panic Disorder, it didn’t have a name.  Karen has been in recovery for almost six years.

Karen speaks openly about living with Panic Disorder and, more importantly, how much her life has changed for the better being in recovery.  Karen feels she has accomplished her goal of being panic-free and enjoys the benefits of living without the constant worries that can accompany Panic Disorder.  She is a completely different and happier Karen than she was five years ago.  She truly likes the person she is today and wants to offer hope to those living with panic or anxiety disorder believe that recovery and mental wellness is achievable.
