Light panic, also known as a panic attack, is a sudden episode of intense fear or discomfort that can cause physical and emotional symptoms. It can be a one-time occurrence or a recurring condition. Some common symptoms of a panic attack may include:
If you are experiencing a panic attack, it is important to seek help from a healthcare professional. Treatment for panic attacks may include medication, such as anti-anxiety medication or antidepressants, as well as psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or exposure therapy. Lifestyle changes, such as exercise, stress management, and avoiding triggers, may also be helpful in managing panic attacks.
In addition to seeking professional help, there are several techniques that may help you manage a panic attack in the moment, such as deep breathing exercises, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness meditation. These techniques can help reduce the physical symptoms of panic and help you feel more calm and in control.
