Panic Attacks

6 articles
Panic attacks involve sudden waves of intense fear with physical symptoms such as racing heart, shortness of breath, trembling, dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, or fear of dying or going crazy. This topic separates panic attacks from general anxiety, medical emergencies, chronic stress, and panic disorder, while keeping reader safety first.

Strong coverage should explain the fear-adrenaline cycle, catastrophic interpretation of bodily sensations, avoidance, anticipatory anxiety, and coping tools such as grounding, breathing regulation, psychoeducation, and gradual return to avoided situations. It should also make clear when medical assessment or professional mental-health support is necessary.
