How Do You Stop A Panic Attack?
In order to stop a panic attack, you need to relax, which may seem obvious. To be cured from panic disorder, your general anxiety levels have to lessen, especially in environments that have triggered past panic attacks.
Are drugs the only cure for panic attacks?
Absolutely not. Drugs may be helpful as a short term solution, but they are more of a "band aid" approach to panic disorder.
Am I turning crazy?
This question is among the most often emailed to our staff. The answer is "Absolutely not!" Panic attacks are the result of the natural "fight or flight" mechanism responding to situations where there is no real danger. They often occur during periods of intense stress or along with hormonal changes.
