There are a variety of methods of treating anxiety attacks out there, but if you want to be able to effectively deal with them you must first understand them. Anxiety attacks, which are also known as panic attacks, are incidents of sudden panic, fear, or anxiety that are accompanied by a variety of symptoms, including emotional, mental, perceptual, and physical ones. These symptoms can be quite devastating and people who have had anxiety attacks often say that it feels as if they are not in control of their bodies. Fortunately, there are many treatments out there that can help folks cope with anxiety attacks and maybe even get rid of them.

Medication is the most common and effective way to treat anxiety attacks. Obviously, many people don want to take medication for supposed issues, but if you are suffering from anxiety attacks it is imperative that you get treated. Anxiety attacks can effectively shut down your life and you need to recognize that they are a biological issue just like any other medical problem, that it is not something you did that brought them on, and that you need help dealing with them. Many other folks out there are having anxiety attacks and take medication that helps them lead normal lives free of attacks.

The best drugs available to treat anxiety attacks are paroxetine (brand name Paxil) and sertraline (brand name Zoloft). Paxil and Zoloft are antidepressants that are FDA-approved for long-term treatment of anxiety attacks. These drugs can sometimes actually wholly dispose of your anxiety attacks and any side effects will be mild. Some other equally effective drugs you can take to treat anxiety attacks are alprazolam (brand name Xanax) and clonazepam (brand name Klonopin). Xanax and Klonopin are very potent short-term drugs and therefore you should firmly follow their prescribed usage (as always) if they are prescribed to you.

Many people are understandably leery of medication due to medical issues or side effects and want to treat their anxiety attacks with counseling alone. The good news for these folks is that it can be done. Many anxiety attack sufferers have found that counseling without medication has successfully helped them. They say that by simply talking to a psychologist or psychiatrist they are able to understand their attacks and cope with them. Although many don want to admit that they have such issues, there is no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed. Your mental health professional has no doubt helped patients with serious psychological disorders and won bat an eye at yours, much less sit in judgment of you; he or she is just there to help you as best they can. Counseling can be just as effective as medication, but does not work as fast. It simply lacks the fast-acting biological punch of medication.

Conclusion

There is simply no reason to avoid treatment for anxiety attacks; there is a variety of treatments available that can help you. Psychologists and psychiatrists have been treating anxiety attacks successfully for decades and they can find the method that best fits your needs to help you cope.
