Panic attacks can be extremely scary. They can feel as if you're going to die, pass out, have a heart attack, or some other calamity. Panic attacks can be caused by a strong reaction to a stressful event and could cause you to feel scared to death about having another. Overtime this fear can lead to avoidance behaviors, such as staying away from certain places, limiting social interactions, or even developing agoraphobia. This may lead to adults avoiding work and other public places, not leaving the house, or other ways of avoiding potentially embarrassing situations.
Fortunately, there is effective, short-term treatment for panic. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you can learn how to manage your anxiety and reset your internal anxiety alarm system. You do not have to live in fear of panic attacks. With the right support and evidence based treatment, you can regain control and move forward with confidence. |
