A DESCRIPTION OF "AGORAPHOBIA" AND "PANIC ATTACKS" A Panic Attack is one of the worst experiences a person can have. On top of the attack, there is always the nagging uncertainty, "When will this happen to me again?" Some people become so frightened of having additional panic attacks, especially in public, that they withdraw to their "safe zones", usually their homes, and very rarely leave them. This condition is known as "agoraphobia". Note that the person with agoraphobia does not enjoy having their life so restricted; it is a depressing and miserable existence. It is the fear of having further panic attacks that keep them bound close to home. Common symptoms of panic include: a racing or pounding heartbeat dizziness and lightheadedness feeling that "I can't catch my breath" chest pains or a "heaviness" in the chest flushes or chills tingling in the hands feet, legs, arms jumpiness trembling twitching muscles sweaty palms flushed face terror fear of losing control fear of a stroke that will lead to disability fear of dying fear of going crazy A panic attack typically last several long minutes and is one of the most distressing conditions a person can experience. In some cases, panic attacks have been known to last for longer periods of time or to recur very quickly over and over again. The aftermath of a panic attack is very painful. Feelings of depression and helplessness are usually experienced. The greatest fear is that the panic attack will come back again and again, making life too miserable to bear. Sadly, many people do not seek help for panic attacks, agoraphobia, and anxiety-related difficulties. This is especially tragic because panic and anxiety are treatable conditions that respond well to relatively short-term therapy. The National Institutes of Mental Health is currently conducting a nationwide campaign to educate the general public and health care practioners that panic and the other anxiety disorders are some of the most successfully treated psychological problems. Clinical research provides us with a solid blueprint of methods that can help us to overcome anxiety, panic and agoraphobia. Today, panic attacks and agoraphobia can be treated successfully in the vast majority of cases. In fact, it is estimated that the appropriate therapy from a knowledgeable therapist helps close to 90% of panic sufferers.
