Anxiety – Here is a definition:

Anxiety is defined as a state of apprehension or fear resulting from the anticipation of a real or imagined threat, event, or situation.

This is a very normal humane reaction and function. In its mildest forms it helps us deal with tense situation one might deal with at home or in the office. It can help us focus on that test we have to take or the speech we are going to give. Basically it’s the part of us that helps us deal with life.

But, when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling anxiety disorder.

Most people, who have never experienced panic attacks, or extreme anxiety, fail to realize the terrifying nature of the experience. These attacks can manifest physical effects that can be frightening, such as a tight chest, dizziness, a feeling of breathlessness, tingling sensations and the list goes on.

When these extreme sensations occur, we usually don’t understand why, we think we’ve contracted an illness or serious mental condition. The threat of losing complete control seems very real and, naturally, very terrifying.

We know that if we break an arm or a leg, or cut ourselves, we go to the doctor and get it fixed. But when it’s in your brain, well, we get freaked out about it. Then the vicious cycle of fear and anxiety of having another Panic Attack sets in and it can really spiral out of control.

Panic Attacks - Here is the Definition:

Panic Attacks are sudden, discreet surges of overwhelming fear that comes over a person very abruptly or without warning and with no obvious reason or trigger. 

These events or attacks are much more intense than just the normal feeling of anxiety about a test or speech. Although these episodes may appear to come out of nowhere, they are really a subset of an evolutionary response commonly referred to as fight or flight that occur out of context with the situation a person finds themselves in. 

This “fight or flight” response floods the body with hormones, particularly epinephrine or (adrenaline). This adrenaline helps us in defending ourselves against harm.  

It has been reported by those who experience Panic Attacks to be one of the most intensely frightening, upsetting and uncomfortable experiences of a person's life.  

Panic attacks are commonly linked to agoraphobia and the fear of not being able to escape a bad situation. Many who experience panic attacks feel trapped and unable to free themselves. 

The effects of a panic attack vary from person to person. We are not all built the same way, or were brought up with the same set of circumstances. Some, notably first-time sufferers, may call for emergency services, they fear they are having a heart attack or a nervous breakdown.
