\n\tLast week, Moody Radio South Florida interviewed me about this concern. The topic is worth repeating, because people throughout the world are struggling<\/strong> with increasing anxiety<\/strong>, depression<\/strong>, and panic attacks<\/strong>, along with other emotional health concerns, thrusting the world into what\u2019s now being referred to as a mental health pandemic. We can do something about our mental health.<\/strong> Let\u2019s start by learning how to limit<\/strong>\u2014and ultimately stop\u2014panic attacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Panic attacks, experienced by both children and adults,<\/strong> frequently push people to seek help. But what is really happening? The DSM-5 describes a panic attack<\/strong> as \u201can abrupt surge of intense fear or intense discomfort that reaches a peak within minutes [the abrupt surge can occur from a calm state or an anxious state]\u201d and lists numerous physical and psychological symptoms that can appear during panic attacks, including:<\/p>\n With the onset of a panic attack, many people rush to the ER, thinking it\u2019s a heart attack or another serious medical condition. [If you have symptoms of a serious health concern, please see a physician ASAP!] Panic attacks can instigate feeling helpless, traumatized, or anxious.<\/strong> They can occur during a time of international stress (like a global pandemic) or amidst interpersonal problems. Or they can \u201chit out of the blue\u201d<\/strong> when it seems like nothing is wrong. The main thing to know is that an actual panic attack will last for only minutes<\/strong> if you\u2019ll begin to manage it as soon as it begins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n How to move beyond a panic attack:<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude.<\/em> <\/strong>Philippians 4:6, TPT<\/p>\n\n
