Baseline of Anxiety Attacks

The behavior that I observed over a seven-day period was anxiety attacks. I am used to having several anxieties attacks a day and have learned to deal with them, although it does not get any easier. For this study I have used an app on my phone that charts my attacks. I have done this for about six months but will only use the data from a one-week period. Anxiety is defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. For this experiment I will chart the amount of anxiety attacks in a 24-hour period over the course of seven days. The method of treatment I will be using is 250 mgs of the plant root Kava. Kava has been found to be very successful in the treatment of anxiety. The dosage I will be taking is 250 mg as a single dose. I will then monitor the frequency and duration of my anxiety attacks to see if Kava will be beneficial in the treatment of my attacks. Baseline phase started on September 23rd, 2018 and concluded on September 30th, 2018. I kept track of all attacks no matter if it was a large attack or a small attack. An app on my phone was used for Baseline phase and for treatment phase. When the baseline phase was completed it was then transferred from my phone into a seven-day graph. Because I do normally chart my attacks using the app on my phone, I have an extensive baseline. For this research I will only use the information for the week prior to treatment.
This is a baseline for the number of anxiety attacks for the week before the week of the actual treatment phase. Each day of the week is graphed along with the number of anxiety attacks for that day.
