People who have never suffered from a panic disorder don’t realize the number of people who actually suffer from it. In fact, panic disorders can affect as much as 0,013% which means one in every seventy-five people in North America alone.
The occurrence of panic attacks is the key indicator of a panic disorder. While they can vary in severity and duration from individual to individual, these attacks typically all begin with an intense surge of fear and anxiety that occurs without any obvious reason. People who have never had such attack may dismiss a panic disorder as simply being, “stressed out” however, it is much more serious than that. Panic disorders are often debilitating and keep people from living normal lives.
Symptoms of a Panic Attack
The symptoms can include:
- racing heartbeat
- breathing difficulties
- paralyzing terror
- tingling especially in fingers or toes
- sweating or shaking
- in severe cases choking, chest pains, dizziness and nausea.
Some patients have described the feeling that a panic attack brings on as knowing that you are going crazy and not being able to do anything about it.
The symptoms experienced by people who have this anxiety disorder would be normal if they were in response to an appropriate situation. Let’s say you were being carjacked, these symptoms would be normal ‘fight or flight’ responses to a real danger. The thing that makes these symptoms a disorder is that they are not happening under dangerous situations. They occur in seemingly harmless situations or for no reason at all.
Panic disorders rarely do any physical damage even though they can be experienced as life-threatening and prevent you from living a normal life. Often complications are associated with panic disorders such as depressions, phobias, substance abuse and others. In most cases these complications are not caused by the panic anxiety itself but rather by the fear of having that next attack.
Which Treatments Are Available?
Although the symptoms of panic anxiety may vary from one person to another, there is help for everyone. Most doctors or therapists are using a treatment called cognitive behavioral therapies which have proven to be very effective when dealing with panic attacks. I happen to know one specific treatment that has cured thousands of people from their panic disorder permanently. If I told you that you can stop letting your anxiety problems ruin your life in short time, would you believe me?
