Carson Daly
Carson Daly–best known for hosting the popular MTV show Total Request Live (a.k.a. TRL)-says he suffered his first panic attack right before he was expected to go on air. “I had a hard time breathing. I was terrified for no apparent reason,” he told TODAY.com.
But those anxious feelings didn’t only present themselves at his high-pressure job. “I’ve had heightened anxiety and mild panic attacks at the playground with my own children and wife there. The feeling was so gripping and so terrifying that literally, I had to leave and excuse myself,” Daly said. After going through therapy, Daly says he has come to terms with his diagnosis, and believes it has made him a more sensitive person.
