This article has information on how to treat panic attacks.

By Viola Prom


Strategies for treating your panic attacks are best individualized. The reason this is true is that each person's symptoms and situations will differ on many levels. The causes of panic attacks is not understood, completely, and there is a very wide range of contributors and factors involved with each person. That is why you should, and really need to, involve your family doctor as early as possible if you suspect you do experience panic attacks. Your doctor will be able to accurately assess your situation and will be able to tell if you really are suffering from panic attacks. Your doctor is the best person to help you choose the right course of treatment for you. Naturally that is all dependent on your unique symptoms.

One method of treating these symptoms that you can do on your own is diet modification. Vitamin B specifically has nutrients that your nervous system needs to function properly. Some of these include niacin, B12, and thiamin as well as others within the family. It is more beneficial for you to take these as a multivitamin supplement instead of trying to take them individually! Men and women have different nutritional requirements in a vitamin, plus there are age-related differences, too.

Another thing you can do for yourself is keep things in their proper perspective. You can get your life back on track and your panic attack symptoms under control with a bit of time and patience. But avoid feeling disheartened because you can achieve impressive results; it will just take some time.

Many people turn to natural methods of treatment. Most alternative approaches don't have the side effects of prescription medication. Each person has their preferences, of course, and you may want to speak with your doctor about this area of treatment.

Your best ally can be your doctor or therapist where your panic attack symptoms are concerned. For best results though it's necessary for you to be proactive in your treatment. You are the only one who can tell the doctor what you are feeling. It's important that you be able to provide this information to your treating physician.

You may benefit from prescription medication for treatment too. There are only a few different approaches where prescription medication is concerned. The first involves taking medication at the onset of a panic attack. The second approach is more for long term management of anxiety and psychological coping areas. It's your choice. If you are seeing a therapist or psychologist you need to keep the communication flowing between you, them and your primary care doctor. Perhaps the most successful ground for treatment will be a collaborative effort based on the information you can provide.
