Panic Disorder Treatment That Works

Panic disorder treatment doesn't have to be costly or involve drugs. If you suffer from excessive sweating, shortness of breath, choking sensations, fear of dying, chills, hot flashes, or many of the other symptoms of a panic disorder, we'll show you how to eliminate this. In this article we will cover a few coping techniques that will help diffuse a high-anxiety situation that leads to a full-blown panic attack.

Here's a typical example of a panic attack: you're in a restaurant with a friend, casually discussing some work matters. Your friend's stress level seems to be about a three on a 10 scale, but you feel yours is about a five.

 As your coworker keeps talking about mundane work occurrences, you feel the tightness in the pit of your stomach moved to your chest. The anxiety level ratchets up, and you think "Oh God, please not here front of everyone."

The anxiety over having a panic attack in public only dials up your fear even higher. You sense mounting dread and fear of having a meltdown in public pushes this fear even further.

Now stop.

You have two choices: let this escalate into a full-blown panic attack, or use the two coping methods below.

Coping method one: immediately begin to take deep slow breaths. Do not berate yourself for having a panic attack. Simply accept that this happens and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Focus on your breathing and slow your thoughts down. Imagine the word "relax" being spelled out in white letters.

 Actually see the word being written out in your mind's eye. This will distract you, and along with your deep breathing will help relax you.

Coping method two: stop trying to control the situation. While a panic onset may be accompanied by a sense of impending death, no one (no one!) has ever died of a panic attack. Realize that this is just a little stress built up, and 15 million Americans suffer panic issues just like you. Analyzing facts like these helps the anxiety seem much smaller. Perspective is everything.
