Panic Disorder:
Panic disorder can be a very debilitating process. This intense feeling of fear strikes suddenly and can feel paralyzing. It consists of at least four of the following symptoms: sweating, shortness of breath, rapid or pounding heartbeat, chest pain, feeling unsteady, choking or smothering sensations, numbness or tingling, chills or hot flashes, faintness, trembling or shaking, nausea or abdominal pains, fear of losing control “going crazy” or “dying”. Left untreated it may cause you to become withdrawn and depressed. Therapy can help you to uncover your triggers or patterns of negative thinking that escalate your anxiety to panic and help you to look at your fears in a more realistic light. You may learn about anxiety and how your body physiologically reacts to it, foods and drinks to avoid, how to control your breathing and relaxation techniques along with other coping skills. With treatment you can reduce and even eliminate the symptoms of panic and regain control of your life.
