I know what it is like to have a panic attack. I have always wanted to understand more about why this happens to me when I become stressed. To know why I may be this way could…

Harvard University. Edward Thorndike originally planned to get another degree in French and English literature. While attending the University of Harvard, he enrolled in a psychology class. While in his second trimester at Harvard, he switched his main study to Psychology.
