Question by Former Atheist: What is the difference between a panic attack and a anxiety attack?
And how come people get panic attacks(like me) who arent anxious, stressed or depressed about anything? What causes them to come out of nowhere?

Best answer:

Answer by Andrea J
Panic and Anxiety attacks are virtually the same thing. They are usually caused by some kind of underlying problem that you might not consciously be aware of. See a therapist. As a former sufferer of anxiety attacks, I can tell you that therapy will help. Hypnosis also worked for me.

What is the difference between a panic attack, and a psychotic break?

Question by ellagirl: What is the difference between a panic attack, and a psychotic break?
What is the difference between a panic attack, and a psychotic break in regards to symptoms? How can one tell the difference?

Best answer:

Answer by Kate
A panic attack is a period of extremely heightened anxiety that is characterized by all the typical features of anxiety, but to an extreme degree. These symptoms include rapid heart beat, chest pain, hyperventilating, sweating, nausea/vomiting, dizziness, an overwhelming sense of something bad about to happen, etc. The person never loses touch with reality, even though they may feel like they are going to die.

On the other hand, a psychotic break is when someone goes into severe psychosis and completely loses touch with reality. They do not know what is real and what is not. They may have hallucinations (visual or auditory, usually) and/or delusions (of grandeur or paranoia). Psychosis can be dangerous not only to the person experiencing it but to those around them, whereas a panic attack is not actually dangerous at all.

They are completely different things. A panic attack is a form of anxiety, whereas a psychotic break is an acute psychotic episode, completely unrelated to anxiety. Hope that helps!

What is the difference between Social Anxiety Disorder and fear of public speaking?

March 30th, 2011

Question by Kate: What is the difference between Social Anxiety Disorder and fear of public speaking?
For example, studies show that about 8% of people have Social Anxiety, while more than 90% of people have a fear of public speaking. At what point do we cross the line? Also, what are some common calling cards for social anxiety? Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Ginny Jin
Social anxiety relates more to interaction with friends and people at parties. It’s far worse than fear of public speaking because socialising unavoidable if you want friends.
