Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal response to change or stress. It helps you to deal with a tense situation, adapt to changing situations, make decisions, and keep focused. Fear is a normal response to a life threatening situation that requires an immediate action. When anxiety feels like fear, is irrational, ongoing, excessive, or interferes with everyday situations--then it can become disabling.

Panic Attacks

These are intense bursts of anxiety usually lasting at least 10 minutes. Typically, a person having a panic attack suffers shortness of breath, a feeling of not being in reality, fears dying, feels numb, and has heart palpitations. People often report feeling as if they are going to have a heart attack. The feelings of fear, numbness, and shakiness that stay after a panic attack, can last hours to days. Specific triggers can bring on some attacks, while others have attacks with no trigger. Most people fear having another panic attack, and can start to restrict their activities to prevent further attacks. Unfortunately, not dealing with panic attacks often makes them worse. Psychotherapy treatment is effective and often necessary for panic attacks.
