[fortleeg.glenn@gmail.com:[61] Dealing With Anxiety Attack Disorder

[Kirk Young]

An anxiety attack disorder is a form of "anxiety disorder" which is a
large term that is used to label many different forms of mental health
issues. It ranges in severity and could be as mild as small fears and
could be as extreme as a full blown phobia. Agoraphobics (people who
are afraid to leave the house) suffer from an anxiety disorder as do
people for which nervousness seems to be an everyday emotion. Here's a
look at how to deal with these attacks and get a better understanding
of what is happening.
An anxiety attack disorder is a condition in which a person gets so
fearful that they suffer a physical attack from the fear. You might
have a sudden, unexplainable fear that they are about to die, or you
may start to hyperventilate. He or she might experience heart
palpitations, dizziness and feel like you are about to pass out. An
anxiety attack can manifest itself more than a dozen different ways
and can be brought on by an unknown number of triggers.
Having an attack once in a while does not mean that you suffer from a
disorder. It is when you notice anxiety attacks happening frequently
that you should make an appointment with a counselor. Only a trained
mental health professional can diagnose you with a disorder.
Once diagnosed, how is the condition treated? Actually, there are a
number of ways to treat this condition. Some people opt for cognitive
behavioral therapy. Others opt to try simple changes in lifestyle and
still others feel that medication offers the best anxiety relief. Some
people do well when they are prescribed antidepressants or
anxiolytics, although there can be side effects.
The most important and successful method of treating an anxiety attack
disorder is with therapy. A counselor will work with sufferers to
figure out what it is that starts the attacks. The counselor will
teach a person suffering from the disorder to recognize certain
triggers - both inside their minds and bodies and in the world around
them. The counselor will teach them how to acknowledge the fear that
is inside them and to work through it.
It is also important that a person suffering from this disorder tell
their friends and family what they are going through. Having people to
lean on who recognize the symptoms of a panic or anxiety attack is
very beneficial to someone with the disorder.
If other people in your family suffer from anxiety attack disorder, it
is likely that you will also. You might not suffer from a full blown
disorder, but you are more susceptible to anxiety. Try to learn
everything you can about the disorder. The good news is that there are
things you can do to get your life back under control and even
eliminate these attacks from happening in the future.
