Part of my trouble is that I struggled with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and got occasional panic attacks during my last few years of college (until I sought treatment for it). As a Christian, I often wonder how much of my problem is due to my own sin and lack of faith in God's plan for me (worry like anyone else would experience), and how much of my problem is due to a chemical imbalance and has to be treated like any other medical problem? I don't believe people in my situation should make excuses for themselves and say that EVERYTHING is chemical, but it can't be ignored completely either. And whether it's chemical or not, reliance on God must always be paramount. Anyway, I know that this wasn't the kind of worry you were referring to, but I thought I'd bring up another issue that for me, is related.
