Someone experiencing panic and anxiety is feeling the effects of the 'fight or flight' response. The fight or flight response is our bodies natural response to a perceived danger. When it is activated, hormones are released into the body to enable us to either deal with or escape from the dangerous situation.
It is important to realise that what we think about can actually activate the fight or flight response. Our minds and bodies can't tell the difference between the thoughts about a situation and the situation itself. Therefore by simply thinking, worrying or 'what if'-ing about something you are actually activating the fight or flight response in exactly the same way as if you were actually experiencing it in reality. Many people develop panic disorder following a major life stress or a build up of stress. Major life stress can include a death of a loved one, moving home, loss of employment, relationship problems, financial problems, a physical illness, birth of a child etc. Common examples
of anxiety are public speaking anxiety, performance anxiety, blushing,
exam nerves, fear of flying and driving anxiety. There are several different anxiety disorders and people may experience symptoms of more than one at the same time. Generalised Anxiety Disorder is persistence and excessive anxiety or worry about events or activities which may or may not happen. Panic Disorder is the fear of having a spontaneous panic attack. The intensity of the attack can be extremely severe and many people feel they are having a heart attack and/or are going to die or are going insane. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the experience of obsessive, unwanted thoughts and/or compulsive behaviours. This can include repetitive behaviours such as cleaning, checking, counting, repeating words silently, or hand washing. Social Anxiety is the experience of fear, anxiety or panic in social situations. People may fear embarrassing themselves or making a fool of themselves in some way. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the experience, or witness of, or confrontation with an event or events that involved actual or threatened death, or serious injury, or threat of physical injury of self or others. The major feature of PTSD is the reliving of the event through dreams, nightmares or flashbacks. Specific
Phobias
are an excessive fear about a specific thing (animals, heights, flying,
blood etc.) The object or situation is avoided or provokes extreme anxiety.
People with an anxiety disorder can also experience a number of different symptoms as a result of their disorder. It is very important for you to discuss your symptoms with your doctor so that a full medical assessment can be made. Do not self diagnose. Symptoms
of anxiety may include:
PLEASE NOTE: If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms then get them checked out by a doctor right away. Panic attacks and anxiety can mimic a number of physical conditions, and it is important for you to discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
Panic Attacks
Symptoms
of panic attacks can include palpitations, sweating, trembling or shaking,
sensations of shortness of breath or smothering, feeling of choking, chest
pain or discomfort, nausea or abdominal distress, dizziness or light-headedness,
derealisation or depersonalisation, fear of losing control or going 'crazy',
fear of dying, paresthesia, and chills or hot flushes. The Treatment The treatment is available at the Manchester practice and is highly individualised to each persons requirements, so the exact form of treatment and number of sessions will vary from person to person.
