Anxiety is another way of describing worry. Some people worry at a manageable level while others worry to the point where they become unable to function. It is normal for everyone to worry at some point. But if your life is consumed by concerns, you may have an anxiety disorder.

Anxiety can cause physical symptoms such as headaches, sleeplessness, and nausea. It can also develop into a disorder that can make it difficult to enjoy the ins and outs of every day life. There are a variety of different types of anxiety disorders which include but are not limited to generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, OCD, phobias, and PTSD. Anxiety can be managed but extreme anxiety and anxiety disorders will require treatment.

You can ask yourself some questions to determine if you may have an anxiety disorder. Do you feel that you worry extensively or excessively about a lot of different things? Do you feel that you are losing control or going crazy? Do you get a shortness of breath, heart palpitations or shaky feelings, even if you are at rest? Do you avoid doing certain things like going to parties or driving in the car because you feel like you may have a panic attack? Do you not want to leave your house? Do you feel a sense of obsessiveness when it comes to certain behaviors? Have there been any events from your past that make you upset, nervous or uneasy on a regular basis? If the answer was yes to any number of these questions, you may have anxiety issues.

Some people just have anxiety in certain situations like when they are about to speak in public. According to the book of lists, the fear of speaking in public is the #1 fear of all fears. Many, many people have fear or anxiety dealing with speaking in front of large groups of people. If you are someone who has this fear you may experience all kinds of symptoms: Sweaty palms, accelerated heart rate, memory loss and even difficulty in breathing. It is not strange to fear public speaking. In fact, youd be surprised at how many public figures and even actors have trouble getting in front of a group. Delivering an acceptance speech for an Oscar may be harder than getting the Oscar in the first place.

Even if you are an experienced speaker, you probably have some bit of anxiety before getting up in front of a group to deliver a presentation. Mark Twain even said that if you werent nervous, you were lying. If you have anxiety for speaking, the best way to deal with it is to start by first acknowledging that this fear is normal and you are not alone. To reduce your fear, you need to make sure you properly and thoroughly prepare yourself before you speak. Proper preparation and rehearsal can help to reduce this fear by about 75%. Proper breathing techniques can further reduce this fear by another 15%. Your mental state accounts for the remaining 10%.

I’ve suffered from panic attacks since I was very little, and my first major panic attack was when I was in the middle of a very busy restaurant. Another one was on a crowded train on my way to work and my heart-rate jumped like crazy.

If anyone out there experience those similar reactions.. What are the best treatments for ending these panic attacks? THANKS!

For those suffering from anxiety attacks the first logical question in your mind would be “do I have panic disorder?” When discussing panic attacks vs. panic disorder you need to understand that an attack is a single episode while the disorder is when you get more frequent episodes in the future. As you read every word of this article you will discover the difference between individual attacks and panic disorders.

As you probably already know millions of people suffer from attacks every day. What you may not have known is that most people are unaware of the cause of their problem, believing that they have experienced a heart attack. This leads to people suffering from panic attacks for months or even years.

Repeated attacks are the leading symptom for panic disorder, but a single attack is not proof of the disorder. As a rule of thumb, if you experience more than one panic attack in a 30 day period you most likely have panic disorder.

Anxiety attacks and anxiety disorder are very similar with a few key differences. For one a panic disorder is when the attacks continue to happen frequently. The symptoms are also less intense but longer lasting.

Panic attacks vs. Panic Disorder

Attacks Symptoms:

Feeling of choking
Nausea
Dizziness
Feeling detached from your surroundings
Waves of anxiety
Intense fear or paranoia
Pounding/accelerated heart rate
Shortness of breathe/hyperventilating
Fear of losing control or even dying

These symptoms usually last from 10-30 minutes and are very intense feelings.

Disorder Symptoms:

Muscle Tension
Disturbed Sleep
Dizziness
Fatigue
Restlessness
Irritability
Easily startled/high strung
Difficulty concentrating

The symptoms of anxiety disorder can last days, weeks or even months. The sensations may not be as powerful, but it slowly works at you building up towards panic attacks and leaving you feeling weary and not at all like yourself. It is unknown exactly what causes episodes, but panic disorder is directly linked to excessive worrying for long periods of time.

When discussing panic attacks vs. panic disorders the key difference is the intensity and duration of the symptoms. Attacks are intense bursts of unpleasant feelings while the disorder is associated with long lasting effects. If you suffer from these terrifying episodes they will not go away on their own. You must get help to rid yourself of general anxiety for good.
