Anxiety disorders and panic attacks are becoming increasingly common nowadays thanks to the stress filled lifestyles our current society forces us to live in.
With all the commotion going around on the streets, at home and in our work places, our brain has no time whatsoever to take a break and take in everything one at a time.
This leads to the brain having chemical imbalances which can cause the physical workings of the body to deteriorate or function in an unnatural manner.
There is a part of the brain which forms and stores memories which are associated with all the emotional events in our life.
This part of the brain which is known as the Amygdala, deals with fear and sensing danger.
Whenever a new situation or place is introduced to us, the amygdala automatically senses this change and sends a signal to our body which tells us to be prepared.
If we in our childhood or adulthood go through some mental trauma, this part of the brain will send the signal in an amplified manner, even if the change isn't that significant.
This is when we start to experience panic attacks and anxiety attacks.
Finding the cause of your anxiety disorder can be quite difficult since you never know how you got it in the first place.
A trained professional also cannot be of much help if your case if quite serious.
Also, professional psychologists can even prescribe the wrong anti anxiety drugs if they are not careful and do not find the right cause of your anxiety.
Even if you've had only one panic attack, doctors tend to prescribe anti-anxiety drugs like Clonazepam which can actually make the disorder worse.
These anti anxiety medicines need to be taken all the time after you take them once, and without them you will suffer more.
This is why a person suffering from anxiety attacks must never opt for anti-anxiety drugs unless it's a really serious case.
In order to avoid taking chemicals to "cure" your anxiety you need to do a lot of research on natural anxiety remedies.
Treating anxiety with the help of natural herbs or methods can have a long term effect and won't need to be done once your disorder is gone.
Using natural herbs like Kava really help calm the brain and get rid of panic attacks.
Another great way to cure anxiety is by meditation and visualizations.
When you focus your mind on a certain thing you get more control over our mind.
This also helps in treating anxiety.
So do a good amount of research if you are experiencing panic attacks and try to avoid medication as much as you can.
Pills only make you dependent on them and make your problem worse.
