Cure Panic Attacks

Before we talk about curing panic attacks let’s get a few facts about them straight.

Panic Attacks are horrendous. They are also a major cause of people presenting themselves at emergency rooms or accident and emergency departments. They are caused by a very primitive part of us that is trying to warn us of danger. That part of us is to a large extent useless in modern society bar saving us from modern dangers such as traffic accidents and the like.

Yes, panic attacks are there to save us. And before you think about curing them you should be aware that they are a natural part of you that helps you, or tries to. It is often hard for people to believe that panic attacks are harmless because they feel so bad, but actually they are designed (by god or evolution depending on your beliefs) to make you sit up and take action. I think you will agree they are very good at that.

So what can you do about it? Well quite a lot. There are of course drug options but they tackle symptoms and not cures. And short term drug treatment using the likes of Valium can lead to addiction if not managed properly. There are therapy options as well, and if you can get them free on your insurance or health service I heartily recommend them.

It can be cheaper, and much more self-empowering to find answers to your problems yourself. I don’t usually recommend online programmes as you never know who has written them, what expertise they have, and whether their claims can be believed.

Of course just reading doesn’t change much…whatever you do to try and cure panic attacks you need to actually DO it, not just think about it. I won’t make rash promises about what will work for you. Nothing works for everyone. But it is when you make a series of changes that your life also starts to change. I believe that change on the inside causes change on the outside and vice versa. Whatever you do to tackle panic, be it talk to your doctor or help yourself, do it today and don’t stop trying to find the solution to panic attacks until you are content.
