Anxiety, Fear and Panic Attacks

Just like depression, we all have anxiety, but if it is consuming or interfering in your life, it's time to get help. Anxiety can be in the form of "stomach butterflies" and minimal fears. However, if and when anxiety heightens, it can turn into irritability, abruptness, low tolerance, and/or panic attacks. Sometimes, because of the anxiety, a person may be short tempered and irrational. Everthing begins to bother them and as a result, the irritability gets in the way of relating to others.

Panic attacks can be frightening. Symptoms may include, a racing heart, sweating, fearing death, ...panicking. The attack feels forever, but it may only last a few minutes.

A panic attack may be a disguise for an uncomfortable underlying thought or feeling. Most people are unaware of why or when they occur.

Often times, anxiety is a chemical imbalance which can be treated. So, why wait?
