PANIC ATTACK: 


Panic attacks are periods of intense fear  usually suffered suddenly in isolation. The duration can range between 10 and 30 minutes and generally appears unexpectedly. It can reach its maximum intensity in about 10 minutes, however it can continue for longer if triggered by certain situations, which can aggravate the discomfort and generate helplessness.

SYMPTOMS: 


Usually, there is intense fear for no obvious reason, which generates great confusion. During the attack, very intense physical symptoms occur, such as tachycardia, dyspnea, sweating, pulmonary hyperventilation, tremors, dizziness and nervousness. Sometimes derealization, unreality or strangeness regarding oneself or others may appear. Those who suffer a panic attack feel the danger is imminent and need to escape from the feared situation.

The number of attacks you have will depend on how severe your condition is. Some people have attacks once or twice a month, while others have them several times a week. Although panic attacks are frightening, they're not dangerous. An attack will not cause you any physical harm, and it's unlikely you'll be admitted to hospital if you have one. Be aware that most of these symptoms can also be symptoms of other conditions or problems, so you may not always be experiencing a panic attack. For example, you may have a racing heartbeat if you have very low blood pressure.

TREATMENT: 


There are various psychotherapies that focus on reducing fear and enhancing self-control. It takes time and patience to redefine your attitude towards extreme fear. Among the most used techniques are cognitive therapy, psychoanalysis and relaxation techniques such as Mindfulness.

When anxiety is very high and out of control, antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are used. ​ Treatment with psychotropic drugs improves self-confidence by reducing discomfort and allows anxiety to be worked through through treatment with associated psychotherapy. During the first weeks, benzodiazepines are usually associated, as they are effective in the short term.
