Panic attack is a sudden state of intense fear that is accompanied by physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, or a feeling of losing control.
Many people think this is related to heart problems or physical health. In reality, panic attacks are often linked to high levels of stress and accumulated emotions.
During a panic attack, it is important to stabilize your breathing, slow down your body, and shift your attention. These techniques help the nervous system return to a normal state.
However, if panic attacks occur repeatedly, it is important to work with a psychologist. Psychotherapy helps to understand the causes of fear, change the brain’s response to stress, and learn to manage these states.
