Book excerpt: Description If you are looking for an accurate analysis of panic attacks and how to treat them for good, then keep reading... A panic attack is characterized by an abrupt feeling of too much fear and anxiety. It may be a one-time event but there are cases when episodes recur. Repeat episodes are often caused by a particular situation that has been associated with a previous panic attack. Most of the time, the panic-triggering situation involves a sense of danger and the inability to escape. Panic attacks, especially if they are recurrent, can be symptoms of a more serious anxiety disorder. In fact, in the United States, around 20% of American adults or 60 million individuals experience panic attacks at least once in their lives. Out of this group, 1.7% or 3 million persons will suffer from full-blown panic disorder. On average, individuals suffer from panic attacks at the age of 15 to 19 years. Women are said to be more at risk of having panic attacks than men. The symptoms of a panic attack in women include more frequent repetition of episodes and more avoidance of anxiety-triggering situations compared to those in men. Also, most cases of panic attacks in women require medical care. During pregnancy, there can be a decrease, increase, or maintenance of the frequency of panic attacks.

Often, panic attacks occur when you are away from home or from a particular place you feel comfortable at. However, panic attacks may take place anywhere and anytime. It can be while you are driving, riding an elevator, walking down the street, shopping, dining, or reading a magazine. You see, the signs and symptoms of a panic attack are mostly physical. They can become so severe and debilitating that many individuals mistake them for symptoms of a heart attack. As a matter of fact, a lot of people having panic attacks visit the doctor repeatedly or are rushed to the emergency room to try to get treated from what they thought was a cardiac arrest or a life-threatening condition. Panic is often unheeded as a possible cause. While there are people who suffer from non-recurrent panic attacks, there are some who experience repeating attacks that further develop into a panic disorder. A panic disorder involves repeated panic attacks that occur in combination with major behavioral changes or constant anxiety about having recurrent attacks. Its symptoms include unexpected panic attacks that are not associated with a particular situation and worrying too much over suffering from another attack. In addition to this, a panic disorder is characterized by acting unusually due to attacks.
