Panic Attacks Disorder
A panic disorder is diagnosed when a panic attacks sufferer has repeated episodes to the point where he or she is always worried and fearful of having them while suffering substantial negative behavioral changes in their lives.
If you believe you've suffered a panic attack, it's always wise to consult with your physician. Seeing a physician serves two purposes; to rule out any other medical condition, and to have peace of mind knowing there is nothing seriously wrong with you that is causing these panic attacks.
Someone suffering from a panic attacks disorder will tend to be afraid all the time while out in certain places or even their own homes where they've had a previous panic attack.
For example; they'll avoid going to the supermarket at a certain time of the day knowing they had a panic attack two weeks earlier at the same general time. Another example would be; avoiding social gatherings for fear they'll have an embarrassing panic attack in front of family and friends.
In absolute worst cases, panic attack disorders can lead to agoraphobia, an anxiety disorder where a person feels trapped with no way out if a panic attack were to develop. Many people with agoraphobia end up not wanting to even leave the safety of their homes for fear of having another episode!
Once diagnosed with a panic attacks disorder, physicians usually prescribe antidepressants; but these medications only treat and alleviate the symptoms. The only cure for panic attacks lies in your head; you have to recondition your mind to understand what is happening and how to deal with it effectively so you're not afraid of it anymore.
