Panic Disorder Causes - What You Really Need To Know
April 19, 2009 by Alex Taylor · 2 Comments
Check out my previous article on panic disorder symptoms.
No one can know with complete certainty the panic disorder causes for each individual. But there are a few possibilities that are the same for all of us.
If you can become familiar with each of these possible panic disorder causes, and identify your own, you will have a much better understanding of your own disorder and you’ll be in a far better position to overcome it.
Possible Panic Disorder Causes
Lifestyle Factors
This includes things such as upbringing, family life as a child, and current life right now. For some of us, it also includes traumatic events experienced as a child.
Heredity
Psychologists still believe that all panic disorders are potentially passed on from one generation to the next.
This is a less popular idea than it was a few years ago.
Recently, experts have leaned towards the lifestyle factors mentioned a moment ago.
The reason heredity was a supported cause for so long is because you are much more likely to develop panic disorder if someone in your family already has one, suggesting it does run in families.
But now it is believed this is because people from the same family are usually exposed to the same lifestyle factors, and that is why you are more likely to have this problem if someone close to you also does.
Brain Chemistry
Experts also believe that incorrect brain chemistry is to blame for the developing of panic and anxiety problems.
Medications that alter brain chemistry (like SSRIs, for example) often improve anxiety symptoms, and these experts take it as a sign that these imbalances are one of the biggest panic disorder causes.

Symptoms Of Panic Disorder and What They Mean
April 13, 2009 by Alex Taylor · 1 Comment
Symptoms of panic disorder can be very wide-ranging, and they can affect us all in many totally different ways. And because of the nature of intenseanxiety, almost any symptom you can think of can be caused by it.
This can cause many problems, because many of these symptoms will be misunderstood by someone who is severely anxious as a sign of a serious medical condition.
For this reason it’s a good idea to become familiar with the more common symptoms of panic disorder so that if and when they strike you aren’t shocked or worried by them.
A large group of the symptoms you can suffer with if you have severe anxiety are adrenaline-based. These are caused by excess adrenaline found in your system, due to your heightened sense of panic and anxiety.
Symptoms caused by excess adrenaline include palpitations (sometimes called a racing heart), shallow breathing, dizziness, and full-blown panic attacks.
Another group of symptoms of panic disorder are those caused by the constant stress found in those who are highly anxious.
Symptoms caused by constant stress are muscle aches, tiredness, headaches, and joint pain.
As well as these, there are also the psychological symptoms that may well affect you. This includes things such as paranoia, depression, derealisation, hallucinations, and depersonalization.
You can begin to see how long a list of symptoms there can potentially be, and I’ve only shown you the tip of a very big iceburg.
Symptoms of panic disorder can be varied and terrifying, but when you start to understand the true causes you will be in a much better position to stay calm when they strike, and to eventually stop them for good.

How To Stop Panic Attacks and Negative Thinking
April 13, 2009 by Alex Taylor · Leave a Comment
Have you ever asked yourself how to stop panic attacks? I asked myself that question hundreds of times during the many years I lived with manxiety and panic disorders.
For a long time, I came up with no real answers to that question..
I wasn’t finding answers wherever I looked. Not in books, not from doctors, not from psychiatrists and psychologists.
I found no answers anywhere.
That’s what lead to me looking for my own answers. It’s one of the things I discovered on this quest of mine that I’m going to tell you about right now.
It’s a method I invented in response to the “How To Stop Panic Attacks” question I kept asking myself.
And as well as stopping anxiety, it also works great at stopping negative thoughts too. In fact, it directly attacks all your negative thoughts, which in turn prevents your panic attacks.
The method is all to do with becoming extremely familiar with your negative thoughts. I realised that if you can learn your negative trains of thought like the back of your hand then you can instantly take away their power.
It works because you stop your fear of the unknown.
When you know the thoughts that lead to panic, and when you become very familiar with them, you’ll quickly find that you have complete control over them.
No longer will they get out of control and turn into massive panic attacks. Now you’ll be able to manipulate them, and in lots of cases, stop them altogether.
The easiest way for you to start doing this is to take notes immediately after a panic attack. When you’ve done this a few times you will begin to see patterns. When you see these patterns you’ll suddenly find yourself with the ability to alter them.
The trains of thought that would once lead to panic attacks will now be extinguished almost immediately, and the question of how to stop panic attacks will no longer haunt you.
