I have always been afraid of an elevator. But one day I just lost control over myself and fainted when I was forced to take an elevator. It was very crowded, irritating and frightening for me. I didn’t know whether it was normal or not as I’ve always seen people taking the elevator without any hesitation until I realized that I was actually behaving abnormally. My friends suggested that I look for drugs for panic attacks to cure my panic attacks and I should visit a doctor and when I did, to my extreme horror, the doctor said that I was suffering from panic attacks and I needed panic attack treatment.
Treatment of panic attacks can be treated either with medications or with cognitive behavior therapy. These therapies can actually help in breaking the patterns of the negative or evil thoughts and help in teaching the sufferer to calm himself down and also cope up with the symptoms as and when required.
Panic attacks occurs usually by stressful situations in which a person cannot rest. In such situations, a strong and potent support system becomes crucial for an individual who is suffering from panic attacks. There are times when an individual might experience fugitive irrational terrors and in such cases a trusted member of the family or good friends can be very helpful for the sufferer. Any kind of support that comes from anywhere and particularly from close associates can be very soothing for the individual.
While undergoing cognitive behavior therapy or psychotherapy, the therapist might ask the individual to maintain a regular journal or record of all their reactions to situations or events that they consider to be the cause of their attacks. Activities that can give you relief from stress and anxiety, such as yoga, tai chi and meditation can also be practiced regularly for relief. These would also be recommended by therapists.
Treatments for anxiety is also possible with the help of drugs and medications. The ideal choice for treating panic attacks is SSRI or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Drugs included in these group are paxil, prozac and Zoloft and all these can greatly help in gaining control over panic attacks.
