Panic attacks are a health problem that affects many people, and that must not be overlooked. This is clearly a psychological problem, and how each character’s emotional disorder cannot be treated uniquely, but it requires careful analysis by a psychologist or a doctor who specializes in these types of events.

Panic attacks are precisely the states of anxiety risen significantly, disproportionate to the problem that the person finds himself having to deal with and often even completely unjustifiable.

In fact, people who are prone to this type of emotional disorder, often vent their tensions in this way because of psychological problems that have accumulated over time, such as the considerable stress, family problems, shock, painful situations, or even just very anxious parents. (more…)

In recent years the so-called “panic attack” or “panic disorder” has become a recurring theme. A new disease of modern society that can affect anyone, regardless of sex, social status or age. But let us first see what is this disease:

When the first episodes occur, symptoms usually appear for no apparent reason that incurs. Later crisis are adding associated with places or situations, such as leaving home, being alone, with many people spaces or confined spaces.

As a result of these crises a person begins to feel worried because they do not want to re-experience the same situation again and then the tendency is to avoid situations and places associated with any new episode.

The logical consequence of this type of painting is a state of fear called “anticipatory anxiety” and so the person begins to develop several behaviors to avoid situations known as “Agorafobia” with the aim of not being exposed to the risk of living moments which may generate the risk of further panic attacks.

Panic disorder is characterized by attacks of panic (or anxiety attacks) recurrent unexpected. It can be combined or not with agoraphobia. During a panic attack, the fear response is out of proportion to the situation that often is not threatening.

Over time, a person who suffers from this disorder develops a constant fear of making seizures, which can affect daily life and bring such to avoid places or situations where an attack has occurred or where it believes an attack might occur. (more…)
