Anxiety Attack Medications - Soothing the Frayed Nerves

Today, we are under anxiety and panic attacks. If a review is conducted, "I'm very worried" might be the most frequently used phrase. The stress of one's career as well as the difficulties of relationships, the crookedness of the mind, the personal experience of the individual - these are the main causes of today's multi-layered anxiety.

Our world is becoming more and more complicated with each passing day and its constituents becoming more and more. Of these thousands of components, anyone can be the agent of cause of adrenaline in the body and the onset of panic attacks - to determine this agent is like finding a needle in a straw. Yes, it is none other than the emergency hormone's. 'Adrenaline' or ' Epinephrine's responsible for triggering panic attacks. Symptoms like sudden fluttering, stomach aches, dizziness, nausea and even reading can be the start of panic attacks. Many people around the world suffer from anxiety and panic disorder. These people have extreme fear and trauma for a period of one to ten minutes during which their blood pressure and pulse are out of control. It may look as if the patient is having a heart attack.

Getting proper panic disorder treatment is very important. Perhaps when compared to other illnesses, anxiety disorders may not seem traumatic, but their severity is a accepted fact. If it is not treated properly during a period of time, it may prevent the patient from living normally. Sometimes a patient may require urgent attention from a doctor or an emergency dose of an emergency medication that may not be given, which may result in his death or permanent disability.

Most medicines fall into the following categories:

* Benzodiazepines - alprazolam, clonzepam, diazepam
* Buspirone
* Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors - paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine
* Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors - Venlafaxine, Tramadol
* Tricyclic Antidepressants - Amitriptyline, Trimipramine

However, these drugs often provide symptomatic treatment only, and most come with a variety of harmful side effects. For example, benzodiazepin is open to abuse, can form a habit and can cause withdrawal symptoms if consumption stops abruptly. Therefore, drugs alone cannot be used as the only means of treatment - they function only as part of the overall therapeutic regime.

Another option for patients is to seek an appointment with a known psychologist. No doubt, the person is trained to be a good listener and sympathetic - something the emergency patient needs. Occasionally, some sittings with a therapist may end up healing a less severe form of the disorder.

In addition to being a good listener, psychotherapists have scientific treatment for their cats as well and Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is paramount.

CBT plays an important role in the treatment of anxiety disorders and panic attack patients. This is a two-way procedure - cognitive therapy aimed at making the patient aware of their thinking process and turning it into a complete mode of self-analysis. Patients are encouraged to distinguish between logical and non-logical thinking. Soon, the patient realizes that most of his fears and anxieties have caused his thoughts to fall into illogical categories, and this has helped him get rid of his disorganized thoughts.

The second part of CBT is behavioral therapy that is responsible for making the patient aware of the panic attacks on his or her system, how bad it is - he or she is taught to give up.

Another treatment for panic disorder is exposure therapy. The logic of this therapy is that if a person's fears are constantly faced, they lose their power.

Above all else, one cannot forget the power of good sleep recovery. In fact, it is the best medicine for anxiety disorders. Many panic patients and anxiety disorders find it difficult to sleep, and this lack of relaxation worsens their condition. This cruel cycle must be solved easily and comfortably in our busy lifestyle. More yoga and meditation and more relaxing massages and spa treatments can go a long way toward helping patients with anxiety disorders.

Caffeine containing foods has also been blamed for focusing on symptoms of anxiety disorders. Therefore, diets that are low in tea, coffee, soft drinks and chocolate may be helpful in the treatment of panic disorder.
