PANIC ATTACKS TREATMENT - IS THERE REALLY A CURE FOR PANIC ATTACKS? What are Panic Attacks?
Panic Attacks or Panic Disorder is an extreme type of anxiety characterized by brief or sudden attacks of intense terror and apprehension that leads to shaking, confusion, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty breathing. Panic attacks tend to arise abruptly and peak after 10 minutes, but they then may last for hours. Panic disorders usually occur after frightening experiences or prolonged stress, but they can be spontaneous as well.
A panic attack may lead an individual to be acutely aware of any change in normal body function, interpreting it as a life threatening illness - hypervigiliance followed by hypochondriasis. In addition, panic attacks lead a sufferer to expect future attacks, which may cause drastic behavioral changes in order to avoid these attacks.
If you have suffered a panic attack, then you will know only too well how terrifying they are and how limiting they can be on your life. Panic attacks can be the result of a phobic reaction or can occur totally out of the blue with the sufferer having no idea as to the cause of the attack. This unpredictability of the panic attacks 'trains' individuals to anticipate further attacks, leaving them fearing or avoiding any situation or place where the attacks have occurred previously.
Whilst some treatments such as antidepressants purely control the symptoms, analytical hypnotherapy can uncover and resolve the root cause of such attacks successfully ridding the sufferer of the symptoms.
