Anxiety / Panic Attacks
Anxiety is a daily occurrence for most people, there are plenty of triggers in a single day that may lead to anxiety. Triggers like big decisions and difficult situations. This anxiety can become severe in a matter of minutes and lead to an anxiety attack where the person is incapable of focusing on anything but the fact that they are anxious. The mind and body give in to the anxiety completely which makes it hard to live life normally.
Panic attacks are a disorder where the person is hit with an immediate feeling of fear. What makes panic attacks different from anxiety attacks is that the fear of fear is persistent and not at all easy to get rid of. Anything can trigger a panic attack, even certain social situations can birth social anxiety.
There is no permanent cure for anxiety disorders, but the issue can be made easy to deal with through proper counseling and the optional intake of antidepressants.
