Steve (not his real name) is a vocalist who sings with his brother. Steve is usually at ease while performing. Occasionally, Steve will feel like he is on the brink of a panic attack for no reason at all. Although singing is something he loves, Steve admits that sometimes he feels like running off the stage – and away from this brother as well.
Steve is a sufferer of Panic Disorder, a condition that affects 96 in every 100,000 Americans today. The number may not seem high, but it is on the rise, from less than 10 in every 100,000 in a study conducted in 1996.
A variety of causes have been reported for the condition, from hereditary inheritance to behavioral patterns including separation anxiety learned from a very early age.
For sufferers, Panic Disorder can be debilitating. Even the most mundane daily tasks can, without warning or reason, induce a panic attack that renders the individual physically incapable of doing anything but sit down, shaking and hyperventilating until the attack passes. Attacks can be as short as 15 – 30 seconds or as long as 15 minutes.
Those who have been diagnosed are taught early on to identify when they are having an attack, and can get some help using prescription medication. Antidepressants are known to aid in limiting the symptoms of anxiety quickly, but can also encourage dependency on these drugs.
Benzodiazepines have also been used in the treatment of Panic Disorder, though controversy still splits the medical community, some of whom believe that Benzodiazepines are ineffective in treating long term sufferers. SSRI drugs can also be used to lessen and even suppress entirely the effects of Panic Disorder in some sufferers.
Undiagnosed sufferers fight the effects of Panic Disorder often without any real idea of what it is, or in some cases that it is even treatable. Later sufferers face other problems; studies suggest menopausal women are at elevated risk of heart attack by almost 300%. Elderly men and women risk Benzodiazepine reacting with analgesic medications to also increase the chance of fatal heart attack.
In some cases, drugs are not necessary to treat the condition. A psychological therapy known as cognitive restructuring can, in some cases, lessen or even totally overcome the condition without the need for drugs. Whether drugs are needed or not, the first step in treatment is to recognize and acknowledge the condition, and this can be an issue in itself with the stigma of potentially being classified as mentally unstable.
The answer to working through and possibly overcoming Panic Disorder is not to silently agonize. Treatments are out there, and those who suspect they have this should consult a doctor.

Drug Free Anxiety Treatment with No Negative Side Effects, Join Self Help Support Groups that Teach Relaxation
September 24th, 2010Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 13, 2005
Due to the overwhelming need for effective, safe, stress management tools, Dr. Doris Jeanette, a student of Dr. Joe Wolpe, the father of Behavior Therapy, has developed a new mind body anxiety treatment. The Center for the New Psychology offers a six week, self help, support group Oct. 19th, 2005 in Philadelphia. You learn the basic skills needed to relax your body, calm your nervous system and tame irrational thoughts.
In the summer test group, every student significantly lowered their SUDS (Subjective Units of Discomfort) level and reported fewer anxiety attacks. The Center limits adult groups to 6 members. This ensures that each man or woman receives the personalized attention needed for relaxation. “Everyone can unlearn anxious behaviors and replace their anxiety attack with conscious choices and clear thinking,” says Dr. Jeanette, a licensed psychologist who has been teaching people different ways to relax for thirty years. “We cover everything a person needs to be successful, such as, the difference between fear and anxiety, how to quickly stop hyperventilating and what to do when you are too anxious to relax.”
Since one of the major symptoms of anxiety is obsessive thoughts that cause insomnia and compulsive behaviors, the Center’s health and wellness approach teaches the relaxation skills and learning information needed to tame repetitive thoughts. Doris Jeanette is author of A Natural Process for Opening the Heart, three tapes, CDÂs or written transcripts that teach you how to breathe fully, calm your mind, relax your body, stop hyperventilating and stay with yourself in daily anxiety situations.
Her drug free anxiety treatment teaches lifetime relaxation skills for stress as well as practical mind body tools that improve self esteem and emotional health. Dr. Jeanette’s new self help, support group starts October 19th, in Center City, Philadelphia and will continue through out the year.
