Are you suffering from panic attacks? How bad are they? Do you feel like your mind is out of control? Do you feeling like running and hiding from yourself? Are you afraid that you are going insane?

Many say panic attacks are the most frightening experiences of their lives. In fact, many first time sufferers of a panic attack believe they are dying, going insane or having a heart attack.

Though it is often a purely terrifying feeling to the sufferer, panic attacks are actually an evolutionary body response often known as the fight-or-flight response occurring out of context. These episodes can occur at any time, even during sleep. When the attacks occur repeatedly, a person is considered to have a condition known as panic disorder.

What causes panic attacks? Researchers are not sure, although heredity, brain chemistry, and the way you handle stressful situations all appear to play a role. For example, people who suffer from phobias may experience panic attacks upon exposure to certain triggers.

What can you do to treat panic attacks? An extremely successful way to stop having panic attacks is to train yourself to think differently and behave differently. If you can train yourself to eliminate the fear of having a panic attack, you can be free of panic attacks. When a person feels the onset of an attack the fear of the attack compounds the problem and makes the attack stronger. The key is to break the cycle by actually wanting the attack. I know this sounds strange but it has been proven to be an effective.
