His new video

Mark has posted an intimate homemade video as part of the #MyYoungerSelf social media campaign 2018 of Child Mind Institute. Mark Ronson said:

“When I was 14 or 15, I started to get these pretty heavy panic attacks for the first time,”

Mark continued:

“At first, obviously they’re very scary because the sensation is that these feelings are overtaking you – you don’t know what it is. Mine were quite weird because they would affect how I heard things – so I could be hearing the radio, and the announcer would be telling the weather, and it would sound like he was yelling the weather angrily into my ear. And the only way to make the attacks go away, I’d have to go wake up my sister or my mother to have them talk to me. I couldn’t even call a friend on the phone – I had to have the person in front of me.”

His encouragement to viewers with similar problems

Mark discussed with the viewers and his fans about these panic attacks. He encouraged those having similar health problems to try to investigate and find the root cause of the attacks. He also advised them to then tackle these attacks with proper tools such as breathing techniques and meditation.

“There’s nothing strange or weird about you for having it,”
