A Drug Free Approach - Panic Attacks Treatment

panic attacks

A tightness in the chest, rapid breathing, headaches and irrational feelings of doom can be some early signs of an anxiety or panic attack. As these could also be symptoms of a physical condition it would be wise to have your doctor give you a routine check-up prior to seeking panic attacks treatment.


Anxiety disorder is a horrid condition that, unchecked, can be a handicap that gets in the way of an otherwise happy and productive life. To allow it to take control is to limit yourself and leave you open to the possibility of an even more debilitating illness such as depression. Activities affected may include workplace or academic performance, study habits, athletic ability, sexual desire or dysfunction, relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.


Prescription antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications will initially treat the symptoms and give some relief. The problem with this, though, is that they can also take control of your life. Living in a zombie-like state that limits your ability to live and work as you choose, is not a acceptable solution for most of us. The trick is to find a panic attacks treatment that actually works and yet also allows you to live your life with the handbrake off.


Whatever the severity of the anxiety, there is a safe, natural, and effective method of overcoming panic attacks. The techniques have been effectively helping people to control or completely eliminate the debilitating effects of panic attacks and general anxiety.


Name the triggers. Give names to the thoughts or events that precede the attacks so that you can identify them when they return. This should help to make you more aware that they are the cause.


Challenge the triggers. Just a little at a time. Dare to face the issues that you dread the most. Initially by just skirting around the edges of your fears and only as far as you can still feel that you are in control. As you gain confidence you can challenge a bit more but it is important that you always feel in control.


Don't be the victim, learn to take ownership of your own thoughts. This can be a difficult task but really is key for anxiety reduction and overcoming panic attacks.
