We all face trying moments.
These circumstances aren't any fun, but most of us get through them without a lot of trouble.
Others may have full-fledged panic attacks.
A panic attack is a sudden eruption of anxiety.
Many times it feels like a heart attack.
Your heart begins to race, you start to tremble, and you have the overpowering urge to scram.
You might feel like you're going insane.
What triggers panic disorder? It usually starts out somewhere from the mid teens to the mid twenties.
It is a common belief that people who acquire panic disorder have something in their makeup that causes them to be more open to the negative influence of stress.
In the beginning, a traumatic or stressful circumstance induces this sensitivity, bringing on a panic attack.
After you have suffered one panic attack, the probability of having repeated panic attacks and developing panic disorder increases a great deal.
Your beliefs and the way you think decide how sensitive you are to stress.
Your mind-set is partially influenced by genetics and partially by the environment that you were raised in.
If your parents were anxious and panicky, you're likely to be as well.
Family History Genetics always carries an element of risk for emotional disorders.
If someone in your family has endured panic disorder, you are very likely to experience the same problem.
Family can also be an environmental influence.
We learn our social attitudes from the people that surround us through the stages of our life.
If someone in your immediate family had panic disorder while you were young, you may have learned from that person, that the world is a scary and stressful place.
Gender Is Also A Factor The likelihood of developing panic disorder for women is twice as much as men.
The female hormone estrogen could be the reason.
Women naturally go through hormonal shifts, making them more sensitive to stress.
Which is known to induce panic attacks.
You're Not Alone! Don't let your anxiety fool you into believing that your situation is unique and that there is no cure.
It doesn't matter how long you have been living in misery because of anxiety.
There are no lost causes.
By understanding what causes panic disorder, we can understand how to treat it.
If you or someone you love is experiencing panic disorder, there is help available.
You should always speak with a doctor to find out if you are actually experiencing panic disorder and not something else.
Then you can find out what your treatment options are.
You do not have to just go on coping.
You can begin to take your life back today.
When you get rid of all of that anxiety, the panic will go away and your confidence will soar.
