If you've been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for a very long time and have not yet found a cure maybe it's time to think about alternative treatments.
If I say so is it because I guess that you have most probably tried the usual medication that is given when someone suffers from general anxiety disorders. Now, let's get this straight. I'm not against anti-anxiety medication but I have to warn you that they don't work long-term and only cover up the symptoms. This means that once a quick relief given by the pills has subsided, your anxiety episodes will come back.
Okay, this is for the bad news but I assume that you knew that already. Now, for the good news you must understand that they are several different other methods in order to get rid of your anxiety and panic attacks naturally.
Some people have chosen to treat their anxiety with herbs and the results have proven quite worth it. Others have chosen to resort to specific therapies such as CBT or exposure therapy.
Both therapies focus on helping you understand the mechanisms of anxiety and how to cope with it. As far as exposure therapy is concerned for instance, the patient is put face to face with the exact same conditions and feelings of a real panic attack but in a safe environment. The patient is then given practical tips to help understand how the brain functions and how it is possible to be in control of the attack instead of it being in control of you.
The real key to treating GAD or general anxiety disorders lie within yourself and most importantly within your own mind where it starts. All anxiety and panic attacks are fictional and although they appear to have been triggered by some external events are in fact created by yourself. This I why re training your brain remains the most effective panic attack treatment and should always be considered if you really want to free yourself from this debilitating condition for good.
