Panic Attacks strike people of all ages and are frequently related to a short term stress. However there are people who have to deal with seemingly random panic attacks that can strike when the least expect them.
The main stream approach is to prescribe medication that helps reduce the physical symptoms however it does not treat the underlying causes.
Using Hypnotherapy it is quite possible for the client to discover rapid changes meaning that rather than having 5 to 10 panic attacks a day to maybe just a couple a week.
My clients that have consulted me with regard to panic attacks have all reported that they notice the change after the first session and rarely need more than 6 sessions.

Anxiety can be defined as emotions which are typically negative in nature. It will often consist of fear and worry, and some organisms may even experience physical signs such as nausea or chest pains. Anxiety is a complex emotion, and is composed of a number of different elments. Some of these elements are somatic or cognitive, and the body will prepare itself to deal with an external threat. The heart rate speeds up, and the blood pressure is increased. The various muscles in the body will also receive elevated levels of blood. At the same time, the functions of the digestive system will slow down.
People who have anxiety will generally have a sense of dread. A number of voluntary and involuntary processes will take place in the body, and the goal of these processes is to get the organism away from the source that is causing it to have anxiety. Anxiety is an important emotion, and is designed to increase the survival rate of organisms. In humans it appears that anxiety comes from the hippocampus and amygdala, two regions of the brain. When a person senses bad odors or tastes, there will be a large amount of blood flow which will be present in the amygdala. The evidence also shows that medium levels of anxiety will be present in this situation as well.

Mental health problems are common and knowing someone with one is even more common. However, it can be difficult to recognize a mental health problem in a friend, family member, or colleague, and know what to do if they are unwell. Common mental health problems include depression, anxiety disorders (such as panic disorder or social phobia), and substance abuse or dependence.
