Panic attack
Panic attacks are feelings of severe anxiety that start and finish quite suddenly. Also, the name “Panic attack” can also be called “Anxiety attack.”
If you feel over scared about something, or lose control of your mind, you could easily have a panic attack. You may feel that you need to immediately escape or find help. Also, if you are about to have a panic attack, your feelings can also be so scary, you may feel like you're about to die or lose sight.
Such an extreme reaction would be normal in a situation, where your life could really be in danger, for example, if you are swimming in the ocean, and you could clearly see a shark making its way to you, that could be a situation in real life.
But panic attacks happen when there is no real danger. Panic attacks are situations that happen in your mind. For example, there could be something scary you keep thinking about in mind and it won’t go away, then you start to panic and have a panic attack.
Experiencing panic attacks, often make people feel unwell. They may have trouble sleeping, and find it hard to relax and enjoy themselves. People who are affected by panic attacks, find it hard and scared to do anything alone.
In severe cases this means you cannot work or have a social life outside home. You may lose touch with your friends.
If you or anyone else you know have panic attacks, or feeling stressed or depressed, get help immediately. Or talk to someone you trust the most in your life. If need help, call 131114
