Welcome to my blog mostly about anxiety and panic attacks.
Panic attacks are part of the distressing condition known as anxiety. Today worldwide, millions of people suffer from various degrees of anxiety and from panic attacks. Symptoms of panic attacks can be extremely disruptive in a person’s life. The sufferers are not always well understood and the economic consequences are rarely taken into account. In today’s economic climate it is likely that the incidence of anxiety will rise.
In the current recession many people’s entire lives have been turned upside down and they just don’t know whether they are ready and equipped to face their future and when and if circumstances will improve. Many people are experiencing an increase in the anxiety that they are feeling about their present circumstances and about their future – and may well be trying to hide it from friends and family. Our society is changing and our economies are venturing into the unknown.
Panic Attacks are one of the debilitating complications of anxiety. They can be crippling in their impact. You may not understand that unless you have had one or know someone who has. They are debilitating because the terror that people experience has all kinds of unfortunate consequences. People wind up constantly worried that the attacks will recur and gradually their lives become more and more restricted. The only place they feel safe is at home. We do know that Panic attacks are triggered by changes in the brain and that they are related to anxiety but exactly why these changes take place is still not widely understood.
Effective answers are needed and are available, Sufferers need to know what they are experiencing. They need support. Often they do not find their answers. And so I dedicate this blog not just to panic attack sufferers but also to providing useful information and tips for people who need to find strategies for coping with anxiety.
