Treating anxiety attacks or panic attacks as they are also known has become a huge industry spearheaded by drug companies mainly for a good reason; approximately 18% of adult Americans suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder.
Millions of people suffer from disorders associated with fear including: OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Panic Disorder, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and a whole host of specific phobias. With such a large number of people the drug companies have developed medication that can suppress the symptoms of these disorders but do nothing to solve the underlying causes of said disorders. Therapists also love people coming back again and again for more paid sessions that may help some but do not empower the sufferer to really overcome their problems; I cannot say anything nice about hypnotherapists who do nothing in treating anxiety attacks and who I believe are just charlatans offering what seems to be a quick and easy fix to desperate people who believe that these questionable methods really yield any actual results ... but I digress.
So what is the important missing piece in this puzzle that will allow those afflicted by anxiety disorders to fix their crippling fear and panic? The answer ... YOU! If you suffer from anxiety attacks the only person who can truly take control of their problems and overcome is yourself which is why more people find solutions in the self help market when treating anxiety attacks they can empower themselves for a permanent improvement to their lives.
If you really want to beat your disorder do not expect that treating anxiety attacks without significant input from yourself will yield any real answers. Instead look to those who have beaten it before and offer the right advice that can give you the motivation and methods to understand your issues and exactly how to deal with them!
