In this modern age in which we live, the most common way to treat any medical complaint is for your doctor to hand out a prescription for some vastly expensive drug, thus lining the pockets of powerful companies worldwide.
Panic attack medication is no different; however, is it really as effective as the drug companies claim? In this article you are going to learn the best alternatives to conventional remedies for panic problems that will save you money, and prevent you from relying on expensive drugs.
One of the principal reasons you may not find panic attack medication that effective is because of the fact that it relies a lot on your mental approach to panic and anxiety problems to work well.
Basically, if you doubt that the medication will work, then it is far less likely to be effective as your mental fears get in the way of the chemical workings of the drugs.
This is a quite a difficult concept to explain, but basically your mind either consciously or subconsciously can affect the physical workings of your medication (think along the lines of a reverse placebo effect) However, you can treat panic attack symptoms using simple mental cures that are easy and simple to perform.
One excellent technique to try is used when you first start experiencing the initial signs of a panic, anxiety, or worry attack.
It involves actually distracting yourself from the panic, worry or anxiety that is burning through your mind at the time.
This can be done by doing anything that you feel comfortable doing that requires some mental and physical concentration, and that will take your mind of panic, worry and anxiety.
For example, you could play the guitar or piano (or any other musical instrument you happen to play) Going for a run is another excellent option as it requires mental and physical focus, and hormones that act to relax your system are also released.
Basically, the aim of this method is to stop your panic, anxiety or worry from spiraling out of control.
