When in the grips of a panic attack it may seem like your life is coming to an end. Although difficult for non panic attack sufferers to understand the pain of a full blown panic attack is all too real to those who suffer from panic disorder. Panic attacks can strike you anywhere and at any time and in seemingly safe environments. In this article I will alleviate some confusion as to the symptoms and an effective panic disorder treatment.
I can remember times when I'm sitting at home getting ready for a social event when a panic attack strikes. It's such a confusing feeling because my emotions were so conflicted. The forces pulling you towards your engagement are often times over powered by fear and anxiety associated with attending the event.
Conflicting emotions can be confusing. We've been looking forward to a social event with mild trepidation. There will be so many people there that we'd like to see such as family, friends, or a hot date. As the time draws near, we begin to feel the first sensations of a panic attack.
It's happened before, it's time to leave and you can't step through that door. Panic and fear have gripped you and won't let you leave. You end up embarrassed and call with some lame excuse as to why you couldn't make it. Now you've missed the event and suffered yet another panic attack.
If you've had a panic attack before then some of these symptoms will seem all too familiar. These include; excessive sweating, blurred vision, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, feeling terror for no apparent reason, dizziness, and even fainting.
So can I find an effective panic disorder treatment that will work for me? The answer is YES without a doubt! Of the many treatments available the most widely used are; drugs, psycho therapy, and self help treatment programs. Be aware that some of these have major side effects and are extremely expensive.
Drug therapy can sometimes reduce the severity of your panic and anxiety if you find a drug that agrees with your body. Many time the side effects can be too much for users to bear. Also drug therapy requires an indefinite commitment to the drug which is pricey.
Psychotherapy can help the panic attack sufferer learn effective coping mechanisms to deal with panic attacks and the times leading up to a panic attack. As with drug therapy, find a psychotherapist that works well with your personality can also be a frustrating, time consuming, and extremely expensive endeavor. Good psychotherapists can cost from $100 to over $300 per hour (session). So although progress can be made, it comes with a heavy price.
The final and extremely effective panic disorder treatment is self help programs. Don't worry, with self help programs there's no group therapy sessions to add unnecessary anxiety to your life. With a little dedication and determination you can work through effective treatment programs in the comfort and security of your own home. Effective programs follow the exact same treatment procedures as you would follow in a psychotherapy session. - 30535
