Anxiety attacks interfere with the simplest of daily activities and make life increasingly difficult to live.
Treating them therefore becomes a pressing necessity.
There are many different methods of treating anxiety attacks and one must find a method that suits one's individual routine and body personally.
It may take some time to find a treatment option that suits one's needs (since not all methods of treatment work for each and every patient) but there are many approaches to treating anxiety - and one is sure to find a way to treat varying levels of the disorder.
The first approach to anxiety treatment is the use of prescribed medications like antidepressants and benzodiazepines.
Prescriptions will differ according to disorder types - general anxiety disorder will require daily dosage whereas intermittent attacks stimulated by certain events usually require intermittent doses taken just before or just when the attack begins.
The use of prescription drugs comes with a high risk of addiction problems.
Also, these medicines tend to make the patient rely heavily on them for anxiety control.
Medication is therefore not a preferable long-term approach to anxiety treatment.
The second approach to treating anxiety is behavioral therapy.
Experienced therapists can help with individualized treatments for different disorder types.
One way in which therapists help the patient to regain control of their anxiety is by forcing them to face their worries and fears and address these under experienced supervision.
Learning to recognize onset of panic attacks and hence calming oneself down before they blow out of proportion is another trick the therapists can teach.
Sometimes behavioral therapy is used hand-in-hand with prescribed medicines to effectively treat anxiety disorders.
Professional have been known to achieve results within five to twenty weeks, through weekly sessions of therapy.
The third method of treating anxiety attacks is a technique created and developed by Joe Barry - the Panic Away Program.
Thousands of people have tried and reviewed the program and found hope in it.
The One Move, a technique that Barry's program teaches, promises to effectively control all anxiety attacks.
