What is a panic attack?

The differentiation between panicking and having a panic attack is worlds apart. We have all had moments of mild panic; that is when your stomach tends to flip over, and you get butterflies. It may have occurred on your wedding day, the day you graduated, or when you had to make a big presentation or speech to a group of people.

Panic attacks are vastly different from the feeling of butterflies in your stomach. Panic attacks come unexpectedly, and will normally last up to ten minutes, but sometimes have a greater duration. In addition, panic attacks happen for, what initially seems like, no perceptible reason, often people will talk about experiencing the feeling of losing control, horror, and shock.

Subsequently, after such attacks, it is typical for one to feel stressed and out of sorts and mildly anxious; often, with the feeling of concern and preoccupation about when the next panic attack will happen.

Anxiety or panic attacks can disrupt your normal life and stop you leading the life you would like.
