How To Self Diagnose A Panic Disorder

Compilations Of Untreated Panic Disorder

Up to ninety percent of people find relief with the treatments provided. However, if left untreated, panic disorder may result in avoidance of activities or people that trigger a panic attack, anticipatory anxiety in fear of having another panic attack, agoraphobia, or the fear of being in certain situations when another panic attack occurs, and claustrophobia, or the fear of enclosed spaces. These conditions may force the affected person to avoid leaving home or heading out in public where social, personal and professional lives are affected.

Prevention

The best way to prevent panic attacks is by seeking immediate treatment from a trained professional if they start to become a problem. Finding healthy ways to manage stress may also help. Exercise, yoga, Pilates, breathing techniques, meditation, peaceful hobbies like reading, and taking relaxing baths are healthy ways to deal with stress. Eat a diet high in lots of unprocessed plant-based foods and avoid abusing drugs, alcohol, or caffeine as these may trigger anxiety or symptoms of a panic attack.
