AVA19710VNB1 - 1994; This 19-minute video documentary panic disorder, a serious yet often misunderstood mental illness, is useful for presentations at public and professional seminars and meetings. Introduced by TV personality Willard Scott, who himself has recovered from panic disorder. Producer: National Institutes of Health; Panic Disorder. What is Panic Disorder?; Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. Signs & Symptoms: People with panic disorder have feelings of terror that strike suddenly and repeatedly with no warning. During a panic attack, most likely your heart will pound and you may feel sweaty, weak, faint, or dizzy. Your hands may tingle or feel numb, and you might feel flushed or chilled. You may have nausea, chest pain or smothering sensations, a sense of unreality, or fear of impending doom or loss of control. More about Signs & Symptoms: Treatment: Effective treatments for panic disorder are available, and research is yielding new, improved therapies that can help most people with panic disorder and other anxiety disorders lead productive, fulfilling lives. Panic Disorder is a serious condition that around one out of every 75 people might experience. It usually appears during the teens or early adulthood, and while the exact causes are unclear, there does seem to be a connection with major life transitions that are potentially stressful: graduating from college, getting married, having a first child, and so on. There is also some evidence for a genetic predisposition; if a family member has suffered from panic disorder, you have an increased risk of suffering from it yourself, especially during a time in your life that is particularly stressful. Please remember that only a licensed therapist can diagnose a panic disorder. There are certain signs you may already be aware of, though. One study found that people sometimes see 10 or more doctors before being properly diagnosed, and that only one out of four people with the disorder receive the treatment they need. That’s why it’s important to know what the symptoms are, and to make sure you get the right help. Many people experience occasional panic attacks, and if you have had one or two such attacks, there probably isn’t any reason to worry. The key symptom of panic disorder is the persistent fear of having future panic attacks. If you suffer from repeated (four or more) panic attacks, and especially if you have had a panic attack and are in continued fear of having another, these are signs that you should consider finding a mental health professional who specializes in panic or anxiety disorders. Body: There may be a genetic predisposition to anxiety disorders; some sufferers report that a family member has or had a panic disorder or some other emotional disorder such as depression. Studies with twins have confirmed the possibility of ‘genetic inheritance’ of the disorder. Panic Disorder could also be due to a biological malfunction, although a specific biological marker has yet to be identified. All ethnic groups are vulnerable to panic disorder. For unknown reasons, women are twice as likely to get the disorder as men. Mind: Stressful life events can trigger panic disorders. One ociation that has been noted is that of a recent loss or separation. Some researchers liken the ‘life stressor’ to a thermostat; that is, when stresses lower your resistance, the underlying physical predisposition kicks in and triggers an attack. Both: Physical and psychological causes of panic disorder work together. Although initially attacks may come out of the blue, eventually the sufferer may actually help bring them on by responding to physical symptoms of an attack. For example, if a person with panic disorder experiences a racing heartbeat caused by drinking coffee, exercising, or taking a certain medication, they might interpret this as a symptom of an attack and , because of their anxiety, actually bring on the attack. On the other hand, coffee, exercise, and certain medications sometimes do, in fact, cause panic attacks. One of the most frustrating things for the panic sufferer is never knowing how to isolate the different triggers of an attack. That’s why the right therapy for panic disorder focuses on all aspects — physical, psychological, and physiological — of the disorder. Creative Commons license: Public Domain

HOPE AND HELP FOR ANXIETY PANIC AND DEPRESSION
Hello. I’m here to tell you there is hope and help for anxiety, panic, and depression. My name is Deborah and I lead and manage a support group called Recovery International, a support organization for people who have anxiety, panic, and depression. I began having panic attacks at age 10 and Id like to share the help and hope I have found in my search for healing. The point of this blog is to reach out and to inspire those who suffer from severe anxiety or panic attacks or depression and to let them know that they are not alone and they are not hopeless. My desire is to share with others the resources that have helped me to overcome many limitations caused by this condition. I am proud to say that the healing I got from RI and The Midwest Center For Anxiety And Stress gave me the strength to an unhealthy family situation and relocate to another region of the country alone with my two children. This move gave both my kids and myself a new beginning. Years later, a great personal challenge brought on a setback. The panic attacks came back worse than before but I’m grateful to Recovery International for giving me the tools to manage them and I’m getting stronger with each day. I must say that I am grateful for the wonderful and brave souls God has graced my life with who have been such a support to me. Knowing their victories of overcoming debilitating anxiety, panic, and depression themselves continued to give me strength, and encouragement throughout the setback. I committed again to daily reading of Dr. Lows books, battling my old thinking patterns and learning all over again to say NO to the impulse to panic when those fear thoughts and symptoms reared their ugly heads. Im so grateful for the support of the RI members who would not let me slip back into hopelessness throughout my setback. Included in that wonderful circle of support is an actual patient of Dr. Lows who completely overcame panic attacks using the method alone. In Dr. Lows biography, My Dear Ones, she is referred to as one of his most difficult cases. Back then they didnt have the medications we have today and she got well anyway. Its been an honor and a privilege to be her friend and to have her as a mentor Each time I speak with her she tells me point blank, You tell yourself if (anonymous) can get well, so can I. She always tells me, Recovery International saved my life. I’m grateful.
