Panic Attacks

Panic attacks also known as panic disorder, is a condition in wherein individuals feel like they are going crazy and losing control, and may have strong feelings of impending doom. Panic attacks are not limited to those who have panic disorder. Such attacks occasionally occur in people who are free of mental illness. They also commonly accompany other psychiatric conditions such as social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and a major depression.

Herbal remedy For Panic Attacks

Some panic attack herbal remedies may help relieve some of the symptoms of panic attacks. Herbal treatments for panic attacks should not be taken for over six months. St. John’s wort is a very good herbal treatment for panic attacks. It is a common medicinal herb native to much of the U.S. — for centuries it has been used to treat various psychiatric conditions. It appears to be effective in treating mild to moderate panic attacks. However, always remember that herbal claims are often based on anecdotal reports rather than scientific evidence. There is a well organized need for additional research on these therapies.

Another way to treat panic attacks is to avoid situations where they are most likely to occur. Sometimes its almost impossible to avoid a situation, but for instance if you have been in the heat for a very long time outside, you may start to feel dizzy and thus a symptom of a panic attack. So you can avoid this by not spending so much time in the heat or make sure you have a cold rag to put around your neck and drink lots of fluids. This was just a simple example of how you can avoid situations that may cause a panic attack.
