What is a Cure For Panic Attacks?
Chest pains which can closely mimic that of a heart attack and is often mistaken as one, is an example of the symptoms of panic attacks.
But this attack is very different from heart attack as no one died from panic attacks as compared to heart attacks.
There is an exception though, as those who already have heart complications may be worsen by panic attacks and may lead to a heart attack and even death.
But other than that, these are in no way lethal even though it can make you feel you are almost dying.
While panic attack is in no way lethal, sufferers still look for ways to cure it as experiencing it is something that you do not want to happen again.
There are three common descriptions of these attacks.
The first one is the feeling of almost dying, that most sufferers would often think they are having a heart attack.
Second is losing consciousness, fainting, or passing out.
But rarely, if not never, this "fainting" happens during a panic attack as similar to a near death experience.
And the third description would be having thoughts of going crazy or losing control over everything because of the fear that just came out of nowhere.
In order to cure this, there are a lot of techniques or methods that can be used.
Certain medications and herbal remedies are available and may work, but often, they only work for a short period of time.
Emotion is one element of this attack that medications or herbal remedies can't cure.
The overwhelming amount of emotion such as fear can cause myriads of physical symptoms that are associated with these attacks.
When treating anxiety and anxiety related disorders, antidepressants are mostly used.
One of the popular antidepressants used for treating anxiety is the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, or the SSRI as it works effectively.
As with other medications, undesirable side effects can be felt.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is perhaps the best treatment available for treating it.
Through focusing on the thinking patterns of the sufferer, the therapy helps patients to overcome their fear by changing their thinking patterns.
The cognitive part of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the one that focuses on realigning the patients thinking patterns.
The behavior in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the one that are being influenced by the change in the patterns of the patient.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy's key element is based on the principle of desensitization.
The therapist gradually exposes the sufferer to the objects or places that might bring about their panic attacks and make them understand that there is really nothing to be feared of until their panic attacks will disappear.
Imitations of panic attack symptoms in a controlled environment are also done in some procedures.
Though it may sound awkward, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one of the most effective anxiety and anxiety related disorder treatments.
