    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/what+is+a+panic+attack" rel="tag">What is a panic attack</a> exactly? The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+a+panic+attack" rel="tag">symptoms of a panic attack</a> include experiencing a period of intense, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/irrational" rel="tag">irrational</a> feeling of distress, normally connected to other fears. More symptoms are gasping for breath and trembling, especially at the start of an attack. These attacks usually last for about 30 minutes, but can vary wildly. <br /><br /> There are varying degrees of attack and the most severe can invoke some scary situations for people and have lasting effects. When asked, many sufferers said that the attack was totally irrational. Although one factor which sometimes seems to trigger <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag">panic attacks</a> is a depleted amount of sugar in the bloodstream. There has also been a study carried out that shows that panic attacks could be linked to puberty. The fact that there is many times not an obvious reason for a panic attack is of course not much consolation to the sufferer. <br /><br /> One way that sufferers manage their panic attacks is by getting to know and using various <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/relaxation+strategies" rel="tag">relaxation strategies</a>. As for medication, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/antidepressants" rel="tag">antidepressants</a> are widely used to treat panic attacks. Unfortunately, research has shown that there is no one solution which is effective for every person. Expert opinion says that a good way to avoid having panic attacks is to reduce the stress levels in your life <br /><br /> If the sufferer does not get treatment they may carry on having panic attacks for years. When the patient has been diagnosed, this disorder normally responds well to treatment, but how long the treatment takes depends on the individual. Unfortunately many people respond well to a course of treatment but then <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/experience+panic" rel="tag">experience panic</a> attacks as they get older, whereas others only need one course to get rid of it for good. If you are a sufferer of panic attacks it may seem hard to believe at this point, but with the correct treatment you can be free. As always, if you have any concerns, consult a qualified professional.   <bio>James Hunaban is the owner of  <a href="http://panic-attack.health-info4u.com" >http://panic-attack.health-info4u.com</a> a site full of Panic Attack information. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Before we can even determine the nature of overcoming panic attacks we must firstly try to fully comprehend the meaning of the term panic attack and further to this the actual symptoms of the condition. The symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks are somewhat unclear and they do not appear to be initiated by the panic. We should clear this in our mind that anxiety is neither a clinical disorder nor a disease; it is the change of behaviour. <br /><br /> The entirety of the associated symptoms of the panic attacks come from the stimulation of anxious nerve signals that are produced by the brain. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+panic+attacks" rel="tag">symptoms of panic attacks</a> are quite normal and without any damage. These symptoms are not toxic, but they are not nice. As we react differently in a response to the same stimulus, so the symptoms of the panic attack <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vary+from+person" rel="tag">vary from person</a> to person. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+a+panic+attack" rel="tag">symptoms of a panic attack</a> can be associated with chest pain, light headiness, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/excessive+sweating" rel="tag">excessive sweating</a>, rapid heart beat, abdominal unease and shortness of breath. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />=<br /><br /> Overcoming panic attack is elementary because there are some very helpful techniques, but overcoming the cause the panic or anxiety attack is a different issue. Panic attacks are caused by the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/autonomic+nervous+system" rel="tag">autonomic nervous system</a> which controls the sub conscious activities like breathing, digestion and circulation. The particular area in the autonomic nervous system is called <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/amygdale" rel="tag">amygdale</a> which is responsible for decision making and regarding the things about anxiety. During panic attacks the amygdale remains turned on and it needs to be turned off to enable the person in controlling the panic attack because if amygdale remains stuck, it is responsible for the onset panic attack. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />  The targeted objective in the treatment should be to reduce fear and to eradicate panic attacks and to cease the applications of those medicines that are used by the people to perform the regular activities. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />=<br /><br />  A medicine which in important in this regard is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/buspirone" rel="tag">buspirone</a>. It is chosen above the benzodiazepines due to the fact that it has minor side effects. Another important drug which is used in the prevention of panic attack is barbiturates which has barbital and Phenobarbital etc. But side effects are also there for example respiratory depression and cardiovascular depression. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />=<br /><br /> So we can say that anxiety and panic attacks can be lessened by the use of anxiolytic drugs, but these ought to be used with particular care because nearly all the anti anxiety drugs cause dependence and have side effects in their own way   <bio>Overcoming Panic Attack is well within your ability with the right treatment.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most people will experience at least one or two <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag">panic attacks</a> at some point in their life. This will happen when a person finds himself in an extremely <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stressful" rel="tag">stressful</a> situation. The body then activates what is known as the "fight or flight" mechanism. This phenomena is considered normal when is comes at a highly stressful situation. But for some people, the Panic attacks come almost at random, or in a very mildly stressful situation. This is considered a Panic attack disorder and as you may imagine it greatly affects the lives of the person who has it and his close environment. So what are the main <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">panic attack symptoms</a>? How can you tell if you are having one? <br /><br /> Panic attacks symptoms are surprisingly similar to a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/heart+attack" rel="tag">heart attack</a>, but don't worry - the two can be easily distinguished by ant doctor. While having a panic attack the symptoms a person will experience will include: <br /><br /> • Quickness of breathing  • Increased heart rate  • Increased body temperature  • An overwhelming feeling of dread or fear (panic).  • <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tightness+in+the+chest" rel="tag">Tightness in the chest</a>  • Tingling in one or both arms and/or the tips of the fingers  • <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/profuse+sweating" rel="tag">Profuse sweating</a>  • Minor delusions  • Unreasonable fear towards random objects or events  • <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lightheadedness" rel="tag">Lightheadedness</a>  • Dizziness  • Nausea <br /><br /> The symptoms listed above are common symptoms related to panic attacks, each varying from person to person. Most chronic panic sufferers tend to have a unique set of symptoms that mark their panic attacks. <br /><br /> By the way, the feeling of tightness in the chest leads some of the sufferers to believe that they are having a heart attack. However, any doctor can tell you that a real heart attack has additional key symptoms that most are unlikely to ignore. <br /><br /> So, How to tell for sure if you're having a panic attack? <br /><br /> Besides experiencing any combination of the symptoms mentioned above, there are a few exclusive factors behind real panic attacks. <br /><br /> • Panic attacks are very limited in time. The body can maintain this reaction for no more than 15 minutes. Anyone who experiences a combination of some of the symptoms that are described above can rest a sure they will pass before long. <br /><br /> • Another major factor of panic attacks is the feeling of anxiety that follows an attack. Most people who experience a panic attack tend to worry about attacks that will follow. This is a natural reaction, and another reassurance that all you experienced was an anxiety attack. This feeling of fear will at most cases be gone within a week's time. <br /><br /> Having said that, toy mast pay attention to feeing of fear that lasts for weeks, as well as recurring attacks. These may indicate that you suffer from a chronic panic disorder, and not just an isolated incident. If this is the case in would be wise to seek help with a medical physician or psychiatric doctor in order to control the attacks.   <bio>Want to learn more about Panic attack disorder?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ As a longtime sufferer of debilitating <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+disorder" rel="tag">panic disorder</a>, I know what the symptoms of panic attack are and what can help keep them at bay. <br /><br /> In fact, I'm living proof that you can beat panic disorder. And I can attest that Joe Barry's Panic Away Program was very helpful in ridding me of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">panic attack symptoms</a>. <br /><br /> When I investigated Joe Barry's program, I became impressed not only by Joe's methods but also by his customer service. You see, Joe gives his clients one-on-one coaching sessions designed just for them to get over their particular panic disorder. <br /><br /> In my experience, Panic Away has been one of the easiest, fastest and best methods I've tried so far. And Joe's natural program is much cheaper than conventional therapy: Panic medication alone can cost you more in one month than the entire Panic Away program. <br /><br /> =95 Is Panic Away really the best way to control your panic disorder?  =95 Can Panic Away actually work for people with panic disorder? <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+attacks" rel="tag">Anxiety attacks</a>?  =95 Does Panic Away really make a difference?... <br /><br /> Using natural and instant methods, such as his trademarked "One Move=99 technique," Joe Barry's Panic Away Program promises to help you: <br /><br /> * Reduce your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fear+of+dying" rel="tag">fear of dying</a>  * Reduce your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fear+of+losing+control" rel="tag">fear of losing control</a> or consciousness  * Reduce your fear of getting sick  * Remove your fear of having another panic attack  * Improve your control over your anxiety  * Restore your sense of calm  * Bring greater peace of mind <br /><br /> And here is what Panic Away is not: <br /><br /> * A breathing or relaxation technique  * An expensive treatment  * A complicated multi-step program <br /><br /> This last part is very important, because anyone who has suffered panic attacks and disorder for any length of time has probably tried these methods. They work sometimes and for a period of time, but not always. Adding Panic Away to this <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/arsenal" rel="tag">arsenal</a> may be a sound idea. <br /><br /> If the testimonials on the Panic Away website are any indication, I am not the ony person who has <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/benefitted" rel="tag">benefitted</a> from Joe's methods - not by a long shot. It seems that Panic Away could help a tremendous amount of people. <br /><br /> Morever, the methods in Panic Away are so simple and natural, even children can learn them, which is great news for parents who don't want to medicate their children.   <bio>Jamie Clarkson has been practicing alternative health for over 30 years.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's a strange notion if you haven't come across it before, but a dog <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack" rel="tag">panic attack</a> can be a real problem. A dog panic attack is exactly the same as human panic attack, but with a dog there is more potential for a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/violent+reaction" rel="tag">violent reaction</a>, which is why we need to understand exactly what's happening. <br /><br /> What constitutes a dog panic attack? <br /><br /> You've probably seen a dog panic attack before, although you may not have realized it. Any dog that tries to attack you for no reason is more than likely <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/suffering" rel="tag">suffering</a> a panic attack. It may be that you are seen as threat to them, in which case their reaction will be one of fight or flight - a classic symptom of a panic attack - and if the dog has nowhere to go it will turn on you in it's panic. <br /><br /> Some dogs are very nervous, and if you approach them without making them aware of you, they can panic when they suddenly realize you are there. This would be a dog panic attack. <br /><br /> In addition to this kind of dog panic attack, there are those which can be due to the physical or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/psychological+health" rel="tag">psychological health</a> of your dog. If you suspect your dog may be having <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag">panic attacks</a>, the first thing to do is give him a good health check. You might want to look for the following signs and symptoms; <br /><br /> * Is your dog off his food?  * Are there any obvious signs of injury?  * Has he stopped running, or is he walking with a limp?  * Does he look under the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/weather" rel="tag">weather</a> or irritable?  * Is he sleeping more than usual? <br /><br /> Any of these could increase the potential of your dog suffering a panic attack. <br /><br /> If things are a little more serious than that, and your dog is obviously in pain, take him to the vet as soon as possible. They will conduct a thorough physical examination and confirm whether there is a likelihood of a dog panic attack occurring. Vets understand more than most how animals cope with anxiety, stress and pain. <br /><br /> Is there a cure for dog panic attacks? <br /><br /> Unsurprisingly, a dog panic attack can be treated in much the same way as a mild human panic attack. One of the best remedies is affection. Give your dog some extra love and attention, and it may just be enough to make them feel secure again and bring them out of their depression. They are very simple animals, and an open display of affection shows them they are loved, much like children in many ways. <br /><br /> If there is an underlying physical condition causing your dogs panic attacks, your vet will be able to prescribe any medication. Resist the urge to give your dog any medication intended for human consumption, this can be fatal.   <bio>Peter Coughlin writes on anxiety and stress related issues for various ezines, websites and publications.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Panic and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+attacks" rel="tag">anxiety attacks</a> are problems that affect a large number of people. They can be somewhat scary but for most people they are relatively mild and don't occur all that often. A panic attack may happen a few times, but it is usually not a chronic problem. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+disorders" rel="tag">Panic disorders</a>, on the other hand, can be much more severe. People who suffer from these disorders live in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/constant+fear" rel="tag">constant fear</a> and anxiety, for ongoing periods of time. <br /><br /> The symptoms of isolated panic attacks and chronic disorder are much the same. A disorder is more difficult to deal with because part of what makes it worse is the constant worrying about when the next attack will come. This makes the attack that much more severe, and the viscious cycle continues to get worse. <br /><br /> Panic disorder needs to be treated as quickly as possible. If it isn't treated properly, it will continue to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/escalate" rel="tag">escalate</a> and can lead to a condition called <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/agoraphobia" rel="tag">agoraphobia</a>, where the sufferer remains housebound because of their fear of having an attack while in public situations. <br /><br /> These panic disorders affect a wide age group. They can show up in the teenage years right through adulthood. Major stresses or changes in a person's life can sometimes trigger them. The effects of panic can range from mild to very serious, in some cases causing social withdrawal and the earlier mentioned agoraphobia. <br /><br /> Symptoms of both panic attacks and panic disorders include the following: <br /><br /> - Chest pains  - Dizziness and/or lightheadedness  - Elevated heartbeat  - Shortness of breath  - Nausea and other stomach problems  - Shaking or trembling  - Difficulty breathing  - Tingling sensation in your extremeties <br /><br /> Panic disorders also often include the following symptoms: <br /><br /> - Lingering worry  - Fear of the next panic attack  - Depression  - Social withdrawal <br /><br /> While the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+panic+attacks" rel="tag">symptoms of panic attacks</a> and disorders are similar, the effect they can have on a person's life is vastly different. In either case, however, it is best to discuss the problem with your doctor. They will be able to give you a more thorough diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment plan.  <bio>George Ferguson offer advice about identifying and treating panic disorder symptoms on the Panic Alert website.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/agoraphobia" rel="tag">Agoraphobia</a> is a type of phobia classified as a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fear+of+being" rel="tag">fear of being</a> in places where you feel or think help might not be available, and is usually manifested by being in crowds, on bridges, or just being outside alone. Agoraphobia often accompanies an anxiety panic attack and could cause several other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">anxiety <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">panic attack symptoms</a></a> to manifest. <br /><br /> Many people report that suffering through anxiety panic attack symptoms is very unpleasant and sometimes horrifying. A few of the symptoms are dizziness, choking, hyperventilation, trembling, chills, sweating, racing heartbeat, and hot flashes. During a panic attack, one may also go through a spine-chilling sense of detachment from reality. <br /><br /> Because going through the experience of a panic attack is so shocking, the last thing a person wants is to go through one again. This thinking sets off another irrational chain of events, which very often causes a person to become housebound for years, which is likely to hurt their social and interpersonal relationships. <br /><br /> Many people are misinformed; believing the principal of Agoraphobia is to have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fear+of+open+spaces" rel="tag">fear of open spaces</a>, when it is really a fear of being outside of a perceived safe, limiting space. Trying to avoid the situations that trigger an attack, causes the person to stay housebound which drastically lowers the afflicted individual's quality of life. <br /><br /> Because Agoraphobia is a type of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+disorder" rel="tag">anxiety disorder</a>, those who experience this phobia can significantly benefit from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+attack" rel="tag">anxiety attack</a> panic treatment. <br /><br /> Treatment for Agoraphobia usually consists of both psychotherapy and medication. Some people may benefit from certain antidepressants. In addition, people may manage panic attacks in progress with certain tranquilizers. Medication is used to promote relaxation and reduce the frequency of panic attacks. Unfortunately medication does not deal with the root of the problem. <br /><br /> While medicated, a person might be more willing to step outside of their safe zone, but it is only a temporary situation. As soon as the meds wear off, they are back in the same predicament. The key to effectively curing Agoraphobia and eliminating the fear of panic attacks is to let the victims understand that no place is safer than another. <br /><br /> The only way to accomplish this is with the proper anxiety attack panic treatment, or more specifically, natural cures for panic attacks. Using natural methods to cope with anxiety panic attack symptoms assist victims to deal with spells of anxiety whenever they happen. <br /><br /> A fundamental treatment for Agoraphobia is cognitive behavioral therapy. A technique often used is desensitization. The patient is gradually exposed to the situation that triggers fear and avoidance, and learns to cope with the situation. This helps break the mental connection between the situation and the fear, anxiety, or panic. <br /><br /> Using simple muscle relaxation, visualization, and breathing exercises, help people manage their fear, which increases their confidence in dealing with anxiety panic attack symptoms. Eventually realizing that panic attacks do not pose a real threat, the fear of these attacks begins to dissipate. <br /><br /> Natural cures for panic attacks help to solve your problems by putting everything into perspective, and making you realize that anxiety panic attack symptoms are just a figment of your imagination and you have nothing to fear.   <bio>If you want a wonderful natural cure for Anxiety Panic Attack Symptoms go to <a href="http://heal-anxiety-panic-attack-symptoms.blogspot.com" >http://heal-anxiety-panic-attack-symptoms.blogspot.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most people that have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack" rel="tag">panic attack</a>s</a> have had a day <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/time+attack" rel="tag">time attack</a>, but can you have night panic attacks? The answer is yes. Night panic attacks can happen all the time. The fact of the matter is that panic attacks as a whole can happen anytime. Whether it is day or night, or if you are awake or asleep. However, it is important to keep in mind that most people are unaware of night panic attacks, because they are far less common than the day <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/time+panic" rel="tag">time panic</a> attacks that we see all of the time. Now let's talk about a few of the symptoms that you may have if you have a night time attack. After all, having one of these night time panic attacks is always scary, especially if you do not know what is going on!<br><br>First of all, you are going to wake up very abruptly out of a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+sleep" rel="tag">dead sleep</a>. Most of the time, you will be unable to identify the triggers that caused you to wake up. You will then notice that you are sweating, a lot! Almost like you just had a nightmare, but you can't seem to remember having one. You may also experience a rapid increase in your heart rate and even some trembling. Other people sometimes have a shortness of breath, and even the chills. This is something that can be very scary for some people to wake up to especially when you consider the fact that you most certainly may not know what is going on. If you wake up like this, chances are that you've just had a night panic attack.<br><br>So why do people get so scared from night panic attacks? The main reason why people get so scared is not because of the panic attack itself. After all, panic attacks are very scary, but they are not dangerous, and they are not harmful to your body. In fact, this is your body's way of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dealing+with+stress" rel="tag">dealing with stress</a>, no matter what time of the day it is. What is so scary is that, most of the time, a panic attack feels like a heart attack. So when you wake up in the middle of the night with these problems, you think you are dying. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/truth+of+the+matter" rel="tag">truth of the matter</a> is that, usually, night panic attacks only last a few minutes (less than 10), meaning that it's over very quickly. However, it usually takes people a lot longer than that to calm down after such an episode.<br><br>Stopping these panic attacks can be hard. That is because researchers do not really know what causes these attacks. They seem to think that it can be related to heredity or it could even be from stress. The important thing to remember is that panic attacks themselves are not dangerous to your body. However, you should get checked out to make sure that it's nothing else. If it's just panic attacks, then you have to find ways to cope with it. If it's something else, then you have to have it taken care of right away.<bio>Discover more information about night panic attacks here: <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/6-effective-ways-of-curing-panic-attacks">Night Panic Attacks</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Agoraphobia is frequently misconstrued as a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fear+of+open+spaces" rel="tag">fear of open spaces</a> or a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fear+of+crowds" rel="tag">fear of crowds</a>. But it really is a fear of being in places where it may be difficult or embarrassing to get away from quickly. You think you might have a panic attack in this space and not be able to get any help. Because of your fear, you decide to avoid all of these places where you think you may have a panic attack or panic symptoms. Agoraphobia is considered a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/type+of+phobia" rel="tag">type of phobia</a> that is closely linked to panic attacks, so it can be included on the list of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+panic+attack" rel="tag">anxiety panic attack</a> symptoms</a> that people suffer through. <br /><br /> Going through a panic episode full of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+symptoms" rel="tag">anxiety symptoms</a> certainty is not a walk in the park. Besides the typical choking, trembling, sweating, hyperventilation, dizziness, chills, hot flashes, and a racing heartbeat, victims of panic attacks usually feel as if they are detached from reality or have a fear that they are going insane <br /><br /> As you can imagine, because of the disturbing nature of panic attacks, the last thing a sufferer wants to do is go through another one. This overpowering fear causes the individual to become so irrational that they decide to just hide away and stay in their home 24 hours a day. They might even completely cut themselves off from their family and relatives. <br /><br /> To try and simplify the definition of Agoraphobia; it is the fear of something the person cannot control, happening outside a so called 'safe' space or zone. This causes the person to hide away at home, which causes them to essentially ruin the quality of their live. <br /><br /> Because Agoraphobia is fundamentally an anxiety disorder, people suffering from this phobia benefit from anxiety attack panic treatment. <br /><br /> You can always turn toward medication as an option, but in this case, it is not the best thing to do. While medication reduces the frequency of panic attacks and generally promotes relaxation by masking the event, it does not expose the root of your problems, so you can figure out the difference between what is a 'safe' place and what an 'unsafe' place is. People, who are suffering from Agoraphobia even while under the influence of medication, may not be very willing to step outside of their perceived 'safe' zone. <br /><br /> The solution to effectively curing Agoraphobia and finally removing the fear of panic attacks is to make clear that there is no special place that is safer than another area. <br /><br /> To accomplish this, the individual will have to agree to go through an anxiety attack panic treatment program that does not depend so much on medications but stresses using natural cures for panic attacks. When using natural methods to manage with anxiety <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">panic attack symptoms</a> to aid victims, they will become capable of dealing with sessions of anxiety at whatever time they happen. <br /><br /> A few of the methods involved natural treatments include breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, and visualization to help victims deal with and increase their self-belief that they can overcome anxiety panic. After a period of time they will build confidence while learning that panic attacks are no threat at all to them. In this way, sufferers gradually eliminate their fear of going through another attack. <br /><br /> While natural cures for panic attacks will not let you temporarily avoid the problem like medication does, it helps to get to the root of the problem so you can get some perspective on the situation. After awhile you will realize that anxiety panic attack symptoms are nothing to fear at all.   <bio>Anxiety panic attack symptoms never just go away.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ I seriously feel that if you've never been unfortunate enough to have experienced a panic attack then, it would be very difficult, if not impossible to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/realise" rel="tag">realise</a> just how overwhelmingly frightening they really are. On the other hand, if you have been in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/unfortunate+position" rel="tag">unfortunate position</a> of experiencing one first hand, then I doubt that you could ever forget just how brutal they are. <br /><br /> So what are the most common <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">panic attack symptoms</a>? Well, first of all you must appreciate that when you're in the middle of one, the last thing on your mind is making mental notes about your current physiological and mental state. But thinking back to my panic days, the following list springs to mind: <br /><br /> 1)Dry mouth.  2)Tensing of my stomach muscles.  3)A slight feeling of nausea.  4)<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sweaty+hands+and+feet" rel="tag">Sweaty hands and feet</a>.  5)People used to tell me that my face went as white as a sheet.  6)<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pounding+heart" rel="tag">Pounding heart</a>.  7)Shallow breathing. <br /><br /> There were possibly more than this but that's all I can recall at this moment in time. <br /><br /> As I became more used to experiencing panic, I became able to spot the above symptoms and in doing so was then able to distract myself one way or another in order to prevent an attack reaching its peak. I will add though, that, for me, using distractions to ward off panic was a very hit and miss affair and it did nothing to reduce the massive amounts of anxiety that I had to deal with. <br /><br /> Now, when the panic peaked, it used to feel similar to someone hitting me hard in the chest with a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/soft+hammer" rel="tag">soft hammer</a> repeatedly. And these "hammer" blows would "echo" right through my body all the way down to my feet. Whilst this was happening, I would experience an overwhelming level of raw fear. In my case, the panic attacks only seemed to last for a few moments but they may have lasted longer in real time. <br /><br /> Once the panic had subsided, I would feel very light-headed and "not there" for at least thirty minutes afterward, sometimes, over an hour. And, if the truth be known, I wouldn't feel completely myself for the rest of that day. <br /><br /> The panic attack symptoms that I've described above were more or less what I used to experience. But please be aware that it's sometimes difficult to attempt to describe physical sensations using only words. I'm also quite sure that other sufferers will have encountered different experiences when they come face to face with their panic. <br /><br /> I lived for all too many years with panic and anxiety as my close companions. They ruined my life by taking my love for life and replacing it with constant dread and fear. Panic and anxiety are both curable. I conquered mine and my lust for life returned just like it had never been away.   <bio>To find out how I eliminated panic attacks completely, please visit my <a href="http://www.cure-my-anxiety.com" >http://www.cure-my-anxiety.com</a> website.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag">Panic attacks</a> are not something that you will receive a warning for before it occurs; it is a matter of time for people to become prone to it.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[One of the best tips for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag">panic attacks</a> you can follow is to learn how to be prepared. At first this may seem difficult to do since most panic attacks strike completely without warning. Unfortunately, this aspect of panic attacks can make the experience of having one even more difficult and frightening. Learning how to be prepared for a panic attack, even when you are not expecting one; however, can help you to come one step closer to dealing with the reality of panic attacks effectively and quickly. <br /><br /> One of the first tips for panic attacks and steps in developing your own individualized plan for panic attacks includes taking the time to learn <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/breathing+exercises" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/breathing+exercise" rel="tag">breathing exercise</a>s</a>. While it is true that breathing exercises can help stop a panic attack or reduce the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+a+panic+attack" rel="tag">symptoms of a panic attack</a>, it is important to note that waiting until you are in the midst of a panic attack is not the time to learn a breathing exercise. In fact, it can make matters worse. Being <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/proactive" rel="tag">proactive</a> is the key here. Try learning a simple breathing exercise when you are not feeling anxious and then take the time to practice it every day. It doesn't take very long, only about 5 minutes and can prove to be very helpful when you are faced with a panic attack. As you practice your breathing exercises you will quite likely find that it will become natural for you to shift your breathing during a panic attack. This can help to reduce anxiety and stress which can eventually reduce the number of panic attacks you experience. <br /><br /> Other important tips for panic attacks include learning <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/relaxation+exercises" rel="tag">relaxation exercises</a>. While it may seem as though it would be impossible to relax in the middle of a panic attack it is just as possible to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/practice+relaxation+techniques" rel="tag">practice relaxation techniques</a> as it is to change your breathing patterns. Like breathing exercises, you will eventually learn to naturally relax your muscles during an attack; thereby reducing the symptoms. Much like breathing techniques; however, it is important not to wait until you are in the middle of an attack to try this treatment method. Begin practicing when you are feeling calm and then work on it a few minutes every day. <br /><br /> Tips for panic attacks should also focus on developing a strong social support network. Create a list of people whom you trust and know you can call when you are experiencing a panic attack. Consider family, friends, support group members and your therapist. Write their names and telephone numbers down and them place lists with this information in places where you can find them easily, such as on the refrigerator, in your purse or wallet, in your car and at work. Focus on expanding your support network so that it does not include just one or two people. <br /><br /> Learning to be prepared for panic attacks is one of the best tips for panic attacks you can follow as it can actually help you cope with the symptoms of and even reduce the number of attacks you have.   <bio>Learn how a person beat 10 years of chronic anxiety and panic attacks without medications or expensive therapies at... <a href="http://www.selfsteps.com" >http://www.selfsteps.com</a> Read part two of "Tips for Panic Attacks" at: <a href="http://www.selfsteps.com/panic-attack-articles.htm" >http://www.selfsteps.com/panic-attack-articles.htm</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag">panic attacks</a> and panic disorder? <br /><br /> A panic attack is a sudden, unpleasant and debilitating experience in which the sufferer often feels as if he or she is dying. One very noticeable panic attack symptom is what feels like a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rapid+heartbeat" rel="tag">rapid heartbeat</a>, as if the heart is going to explode. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">Panic attack symptoms</a> include: <br /><br /> - fear of dying  - shallow and/or rapid breathing  - sweating, shaking, trembling  - severe anxiety  - fear of a heart attack  - feeling out of control  - <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hot+flashes" rel="tag">hot flashes</a> or chills  - fear of going crazy  - nausea  - visual disturbances  - dizziness or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/feeling+faint" rel="tag">feeling faint</a>  - numbness or tingling of extremeties  - feeling as if the walls are closing in <br /><br /> Recurring panic attacks are a symptom of panic disorder, which affects one in 75 people. The symptoms for panic disorder are the same as for an individual panic attack, except that the sufferer experiences panic attacks on a more regular basis. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+disorder+symptoms" rel="tag">Panic disorder symptoms</a> include the fear of having another panic attack, a fear that in itself could bring on a panic attack. Panic disorder in turn can lead to andquot;situational avoidance,andquot; which means that the sufferers feel compelled to avoid every place or situation in which a previous panic attack has occurred, to the point where they may not even leave their houses. Panic disorder that proceeds to this point of phobia can be very serious and disruptive to a normal life. <br /><br /> What is the cause of a panic attack? <br /><br /> Panic attacks have a variety of causes, some physical, some mental and some emotional. Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to panic attacks, while gender also plays a role, as women are more prone to panic attacks than men. Sometimes hidden allergies or sensitivities to food, drink or other chemical such as a drug or pollutant can trigger a panic attack, while at other times memories or trauma can push the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+button" rel="tag">panic button</a>. Alcohol and drug use can be both causes and effects of panic attacks and panic disorder. Some people suffer panic disorder as a side effect of post-traumatic stress disorder that involves some very serious and disturbing experiences, while everyday chores and events, such as having a child or getting married, can also trigger panic attacks. Driving is a fairly common source of debilitating panic attacks. <br /><br /> How can you prevent or stop panic attacks? <br /><br /> There are various forms of medication that can be taken either during an acute panic attack to ease its symptoms or regularly in treating panic disorder. Recurring panic disorder requires a more long-term strategy, as several of these medications are highly addictive and not beneficial to the health over the long run. Many methods have been tried, from meditation and visualization to nutrition and breathing, with varying results. One of the more effective methods was developed by panic expert Joe Barry, author of andquot;Panic Away.andquot; This method requires the sufferer to actually andquot;welcomeandquot; the panic attack, saying, andquot;Bring it on!andquot; In conjunction with medication, nutrition and other methods and strategies, this technique may be very effective in preventing or stopping a panic attack. <br /><br /> With the proper diagnosis and treatment, you can control, stop, prevent or overcome panic attacks and panic disorder, and lead a normal, happy life.  <bio>Jamie Clarkson has been studying and implementing health practices for 30 years. She is also a recovered sufferer of debilitating panic disorder.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Often <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack" rel="tag">panic attack</a>s</a> occur for no apparent reason. Their causes are shrouded in mystery. They can strike unexpectedly, suddenly, spontaneously. <br /><br /> That said, panic attacks tend to occur when your are under stress. They can also crop up when you are about to face a situation that you are afraid of, either consciously or unconsciously. That situation could be real or imagined. For instance, you may have a public speech to give and your mind might be working overtime on the (un)likely reaction of your audience. <br /><br /> Your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fears+and+phobias" rel="tag">fears and phobias</a> are often your worst enemy. They can trigger a panic attack when you least suspect it, with no advance warning. The first thing you'll know is that the panic attack has started. Which isn't a pleasant situation to be in. <br /><br /> Sometimes panic attacks are associated with hereditary factors. If someone else in your family has suffered from panic attacks then there is a higher chance that you will also suffer from unexpected panic attacks. <br /><br /> At other times, life changing situations can bring on the feeling of panic. Often these situations are associated with distress, such as divorce, loss of your job or even moving house, which is said to be one of our most stressful occurrences. <br /><br /> As well as these situations, there are other things that contribute to panic attacks. <br /><br /> Too much nicotine and/or too much <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/caffeine" rel="tag">caffeine</a> can both work against you. They are fairly easy to cut down on, although not always as easy to cut out completely. Watch out for withdrawal symptoms, especially with caffeine. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/alcohol" rel="tag">Alcohol</a> is another substance that is worth cutting down if you suffer from panic attacks. If you're out with friends, try alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. If, for instance, every other drink is a juice or a sparkling water, no-one except you will know that there's no alcohol in the drink.   <bio>Get more <a href="http://www.<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/squidoo" rel="tag">squidoo</a>.com/Top-Tips-For-Panic-Attacks" >http://www.squidoo.com/Top-Tips-For-Panic-Attacks</a> top tips for panic attacks and how to deal with them at this panic attack resource: <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/Top-Tips-For-Panic-Attacks" >http://www.squidoo.com/Top-Tips-For-Panic-Attacks</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[For those who suffer from panic attacks they know very well how terrifying they can be. Many people rush to the emergency room believing they are having a heart attack. There are many symptoms that one can suffer while experiencing a panic attack. Some of the physical symptoms are chest pain, nausea, tingling in hands, sweating, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pounding+heartbeat" rel="tag">pounding heartbeat</a> and difficulty breathing. Many of these same symptoms are also experienced when a person is experiencing a heart attack.<br><br>Emotional symptoms can be a feeling of doom or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/intense+fear" rel="tag">intense fear</a>. People who exhibit these symptoms <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/experience+fear" rel="tag">experience fear</a> that cannot be explained. While having one of these attacks they can also exhibit dangerous behavior in reaction to their symptoms.<br><br>Fortunately there are many things that one can do naturally to help alleviate the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+a+panic+attack" rel="tag">symptoms of a panic attack</a>. To treat panic attacks naturally you must first recognize what a panic attack is and what it feels like to you. Once you recognize the symptoms that you experience you can then take control.<br><br>Treat Panic Attacks Naturally Method One: Hypnosis<br><br>One method to treat panic attacks naturally is with hypnosis. Hypnosis has been recognized by the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/american+medical+association" rel="tag">American Medical Association</a> as an approved way to treat panic attacks naturally. Hypnosis is done without drugs and for many it can provide significant relief.<br><br>When you treat panic attacks naturally with hypnosis you will change the way you deal with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">panic attack symptoms</a>. Hypnosis can be used to strengthen the mind and allow you to relax. Relaxation is key when you are experiencing a panic attack. During the attack the person having the attack finds that they are extremely tight and wound up. For some of the milder attacks one might be able to breathe their way to relaxation. This can be done by taking some slow, deep breaths and slowly exhaling. If possible you should try to concentrate on something that is peaceful to you.<br><br>Treat Panic Attacks Naturally Method Two: Laughter<br><br>Some people say <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/laughter+is+the+best+medicine" rel="tag">laughter is the best medicine</a> to treat panic attack naturally. When one laughs their body tends to relax naturally. The brain had trouble responding to stress when you are truly laughing at something you find funny. When your body is anxious you have a rise in serum cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. True laughter reduces the amount of stress hormone in the body.<br><br>Treat Panic Attacks Naturally Method Three: Behavioral Therapy<br><br>Probably the most popular way to treat panic attacks naturally is with behavioral therapy. Try talking with someone about what you felt when you were having an attack. They see if you can determine what you were doing when the attack started. You might discover that certain behaviors trigger an attack. If you can pinpoint those behaviors you can then take steps to change them.<br><br>You may determine that you become anxious when you are in a large crowd of people. If so then you should relax, take some deep breaths and visualize yourself in a large crowd of people. Have someone there with you to talk you through the process. It may take several times before you can actually get to the point that a crowd of people no longer poses a threat to you. During this process if you feel that you are becoming overwhelmed you should go back to your deep breathing and try to relax. Take your time and approach your fears slowly and with determination. When you treat panic attacks naturally you will not have to worry about putting medicine in your body that could cause you adverse side effects.<bio>Our website is dedicated to helping you discover effective ways of <a href="http://www.analyze-more.com/curepanicattackandanxiety.html">treating panic attacks naturally</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The symptoms of panic can hit any one of us. This is a normal human defense mechanism called the `fight or flight' instinct and this <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/defensive+mechanism" rel="tag">defensive mechanism</a> has helped humans evolve to the state that we're in now. However, our day to day stress filled lives can bring unwanted anxieties into our spheres and it's when these anxieties repeatedly occur that they can turn into an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+panic+disorder" rel="tag">anxiety panic disorder</a>. <br /><br /> Anxiety and panic can strike anyone at any time and these attacks can be debilitating as your entire life becomes centered on waiting for a panic attack to strike. The feelings can make you feel that you're experiencing a stroke, a heart attack or even that you're dying. When no medical help can be found to treat this "mysterious" condition, then you're left to wonder when the next attack may happen. As you're unable to predict the next attack you become extremely anxious and you might also develop a lingering and intense worry that your next attack could happen the next minute. <br /><br /> These <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/intense+emotions" rel="tag">intense emotions</a> can keep you on a roller coaster of anxiety and panic. The more these symptoms are repeated, your brain begins to dictate how you should live so as not to experience any more panic attacks. This then, spirals into anxiety panic disorder. <br /><br /> The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+anxiety" rel="tag">symptoms of anxiety</a> panic disorder include pounding heart, weakness, feelings of being faint, and dizziness. Your hands may feel numb or they may tingle. You will experience chest pains, smothering sensations, a sense of unreality. All of these feelings may lead you to believe that you are having a heart attack, a stroke or even dying. <br /><br /> Anxiety panic disorder attacks can occur at any time. These attacks can last anywhere from a few minutes up to 10 minutes and there are even rare cases where a case anxiety panic disorder can last for about an hour. <br /><br /> For people who suffer from anxiety panic disorder there are other maladies that need to be treated as well. Depression and alcoholism are some of the accompanying illnesses and sometimes panic attacks can spawn phobias as well. These phobias occur where a panic attack first happened. This may even cause an anxiety panic disorder sufferer to restrict their lives so they avoid situations that might invite another attack. <br /><br /> If you suffer from an anxiety panic disorder you'll know just how debilitating it can be. To that end an anxiety panic disorder sufferer has a number of options to choose from to either learn to cope with their condition or to find a fitting cure. The first step however, is as always in your hands =96 only you can find a suitable method of `cope or cure' for your anxiety panic disorder.   <bio>Author's sites: <a href="http://www.easyhomeremedy.com" >http://www.easyhomeremedy.com</a> , <a href="http://www.myanxietyguide.com" >http://www.myanxietyguide.com</a> , <a href="http://www.home-remedies-for-heartburn.com" >http://www.home-remedies-for-heartburn.com</a>   </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[A panic attack is best defined as the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sudden+onset" rel="tag">sudden onset</a> of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/intense+anxiety" rel="tag">intense anxiety</a> that may or may not be accompanied by physiological side effects of increasing intensity. They not be triggered in any obvious way, and can affect people of any age or race. For most, they can be rather frightening. This is because the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/physiological+responses" rel="tag">physiological responses</a> created by a panic attack can be quite intense, and many people could mistake them for other serious problems, like strokes or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/heart+attacks" rel="tag">heart attacks</a>. If you or someone you love is affected by panic attacks, then understanding the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attack+symptoms" rel="tag">panic attack symptoms</a> can help you better cope and manage it.<br><br>The first thing that you should be aware of is the fact that panic attacks are essentially a fight or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/flight+response" rel="tag">flight response</a> that has been taken out of context. Your body will be flooded with adrenaline, which then has no place to go and no way to leave your system. This can result in your body reacting in a way to try to get it out and the episodes can last as long as several minutes or simply end within a few seconds. When your body is "pumped up" in this fashion, it can be difficult to concentrate, and the effects it has on your body can be frightening unless you know what to expect.<br><br>When experiencing a panic attack, you will end up feeling dizzy and apprehensive all over. You may feel that you are panicking, despite having nothing to panic at all for. There could also be tightness in your chest and even in your throat, which can make breathing difficult. Your heart will beat at a faster rate and that you might even start <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hyperventilating" rel="tag">hyperventilating</a> as your body tries to get in as much oxygen as possible.<br><br>When experiencing a panic attack, you could feel distanced from everything around; you may feel that you are drifting away from reality or even experience tunnel vision, where there is only darkness pressing around the edges of your eyesight. For those who have suffered heart attacks before, these symptoms may sound frighteningly familiar, but it is important to remember that a panic attack will not hurt you, though there is a possibility that you could fall and injure yourself. Being able to differentiate a heart attack from a panic attack can go a long way towards helping you feel more in control of your life. Remember that you should always consult a doctor when such attacks take place, but keep in mind that panic attacks are in fact quite common amongst people today.<br><br>Although they seem terrifying, remember that panic attacks can be controlled. If you feel one coming on, take time and start breathing slowly. Remember that panic attacks can be brought on by a perceived lack of control, and the ability to control even your own breathing or your own body can help you feel better. Seriously evaluate your situation and see if there are any real threats to your life. Panic attacks might be a part of your life, but learning and controlling them well will enable you to feel much more confident about living each day.<bio>Ian Spencer is an expert in solving anxiety and stress problems at <a href="http://www.What-Is-Anxiety.org"> http://www.http://www.What-Is-Anxiety.org /a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[People who suffer from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/panic+attacks" rel="tag">panic attacks</a> will do just about anything it takes to achieve freedom from panic attacks. The fear, and often pain, is so intense during an attack that the person suffering from them feels as though they are in real danger. Recognizing the real problem is the first step to the cure.<br><br>In reality, panic attacks are usually not life threatening. They are only <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/unfounded+fear" rel="tag">unfounded fear</a> that can manifest in different ways. Some people may have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chest+pain" rel="tag">chest pain</a> and fear they are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/having+a+heart+attack" rel="tag">having a heart attack</a>. Others may experience shortness of breath. Some people do not suffer from any physical symptoms but they experience mental symptoms such as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/extreme+fear" rel="tag">extreme fear</a>. In order to achieve freedom from panic attacks one must first realize what is happening.<br><br>When you are having a panic attack you should write down what you are feeling at the time. Write down all of your thoughts at the time as well as any physical symptoms you are experiencing. This will help you to identify <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/what+is+a+panic+attack" rel="tag">what is a panic attack</a> and what is real, such as real chest pain that indicates a heart attack.<br><br>Once you identify your symptoms you should then try and remember your thoughts and what you were doing immediately before the attack. This may help you determine the cause of the attack. If you want freedom from panic attacks you will have to first discover their cause.<br><br>Once you have determined what has caused the panic attack you can then start to deal with the real problem. Perhaps you can avoid the activity or thoughts you were having just before the attack.<br><br>For most people they cannot avoid all of the things that cause them to have panic attacks. They must then learn how to deal with the situation in a positive manner. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/deep+breathing+exercises" rel="tag">Deep breathing exercises</a> can help you get through an attack. You should slowly inhale through your nose and count to five while inhaling. Then hold your breath for about two seconds before slowly exhaling to the count of five. This allows your body to not only increase the amount of oxygen you take in, but it also forces you to occupy your mind with another activity.<br><br>Set aside a time each day to do something for yourself. Perhaps this is nothing more than a soak in the tub with your favorite bubble bath. Whatever activity you choose to do should be something that you enjoy and it relaxes you.<br><br>Set up a regular exercise routine. This does not mean you have to become a heavy weight lifter. It can mean that you take a walk outside in the sunshine or you could go for a swim and soak up some rays. Exercise strengthens the body and gives the body the ability to handle stress better.<br><br>Freedom from panic attacks is the ultimate goal of anyone who suffers from them.
