A panic attack is a sudden state of intense fear, accompanied by physical symptoms: rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, or a feeling of loss of control.
Many people think that these are heart or health problems. In fact, panic attacks are often associated with high levels of stress and accumulated emotions.
During a panic attack, it is important to stabilize your breathing, slow down your body’s rhythm, and switch your attention. These techniques help the nervous system return to normal.
But if panic attacks are recurring, it is worth working with a psychologist. Psychotherapy helps to understand the causes of fear, change the brain’s reactions to stress, and learn to control such states.
