Which Panic Attack Treatment is Right for You?

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

When experiencing a panic attack, it usually happens with no warning and may result from no noticeable cause. Symptoms of panic attacks include numbness in the hands, perceptual distortions, shortness of breath, hot flushes, fear of dying and accelerated heartbeat, to name but a few. Some people suffer from several of these symptoms while other individuals may only experience two or three.

This does not mean that the one individual suffers from a more severe form of panic attack than another, it simply means that some people’s brains respond differently to varying situations. When experiencing panic attacks on a continual basis, whether it is once a day or once a month, it is essential that one seeks safe and effective forms of treatment. Panic attack disorder is treatable in various forms and, as with any disorder, the selection of treatment is based on how severe the disorder is and the individual’s own physiology.
