Let's be blunt about this.
Whether or not you can achieve success using panic attack self help tactics depends of a number of variables.
The main variables are these - the three main categories of anxiety, your level of determination and an element of luck.
You can ignore the last one now because you just got lucky by stumbling upon this article.
Just kidding.
The three main categories of anxiety (the root cause of panic attacks) are mild, tolerable and severe.
The severe category of the disorder include a very unusual behaviour such as over eating and other eating disorders leading to bulimia and anorexia, locking yourself in a room for hours or days on end and self neglect (not washing, shaving, changing clothes).
Most of those extreme cases result from some kind of very low self esteem.
People who suffer from a severe type of the disorder probably need immediate psychological or psychiatric intervention.
Those suffering from tolerable or bearable social anxiety should begin their social anxiety therapy by using some treatment that includes panic attack self help.
People in this category would be well advised not to embark immediately on a course of drug medication.
Initially at any rate self help might be the proper option.
Anyone who decides to embrace panic attack self help has already decided to take action.
Buying an information product is the first step and this action underlines the person's determination to solve the problem.
These information products have been written by professionals and may well be the key to solving the problems in that person's life.
After all do you want to crack a nut with a sledgehammer?
