The first is recognizing that stress has a significant factor in what causes panic attacks. What you need to try to determine, is if this stress is an ongoing issue that is deeply rooted in your thought process either consciously or subconsciously.What I mean by that is often people grow up with generally feeling scared or fearful in everyday life. This could be caused by many deeply rooted factors such as abandonment as a child by either parent, parents who never gave much love to their child at critical development stages in their lives, or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) brought on by a terrifying experience.Have you ever noticed that some people have a carefree response when confronted with an important life decision, scary experience, or they have a carefree outlook on life and generally don't seem to get stressed out about too many things?
I believe this is hard wired into our personalities from both developmental stages of our lives as well as life experiences.Then their are people who often overreact or become extremely fearful or stressed out over the same experiences as the person who had more of a carefree personality.Again looking back and comparing the two peoples lives you will probably find some astonishing differences.The carefree person more than likely had a stable household with affectionate and loving parents and never really experienced anything terrifying in their lives.
A child feigns sickness and looks for every excuse for not going to school. There is a definite co-relation between school phobia and separation anxiety. This is because children are hit with the insecurity of leaving the secure environment of their home.Stress-related anxiety.One of the most common causes of panic attacks in children is stress. Stress is linked to anxiety attacks and may be because of heavy responsibilities at home and in school. This also includes unfinished tasks, physical and psychological abuse, a school bully, environment that is unfit for the child's age, violence, etc.
Lifestyle Change.This is very common when parents move. Most children develop a sense of security from their closeness to familiar friends and surroundings. When this abruptly changes, we can expect the child to have some apprehension and this may induce a panic attack.Other reasons.There are many instances when panic attacks occur for no apparent reason. This can be during the day even in the security of one's home or with friends. At other times it may happen when the child is asleep.Experts feel that this occurs when the child recalls something traumatic. This could be the death of a loved one or an impending move. These may trigger anxiety and lead to a panic attack.
Many parents attempt to reassure their children so they do not have to face uncertainties. It is these uncertainties that cause panic and anxiety issues. Parents who spend more time reassuring and validating their children report that their children have fewer panic attacks. It is also recommended that parents monitor that their children read and watch. Sometimes what they read watch (including the video games they play) can cause panic attacks.
However, there are panic attacks can lead to a serious condition called anxiety panic attacks. This is different from the ordinary panic attacks you have had in the past because this time you fear or anticipate something you perceive as a threat whether or not it is real.
A panic attack is actually a natural reaction of your body to things and events that your body considers as a threat. Examples of these are stressful events, a disease, and the likes. These attacks, however, become a disorder when your life begins to crumble because of it. That means you cannot work well, socialize with other members of the community, or simply said, you will stop living like a normal individual would.
Danger.Danger or harm, whether real or imaginary, is a common panic attacks cause. You are on your way home and walking along a deserted and dark street. Suddenly, you feel goose bumps and your heart is beating fast. You fear for your safety. You feel danger. However, danger can also be felt even while you are in the safety of your home. You can get this feeling even if there is nothing to fear at all. That is a sign that something is amiss and you are experiencing a panic attack.
Now that you have an overview of what this disorder is it is time to discuss what causes panic attacks. There are countless of reasons why you have this disorder but there are few that prevail. One of these causes is heredity. Unfortunately for the keen of those who developed this disorder, it can be passed on from one generation to the next.Another probable cause is the way you see things or deal with your problems. If you are the kind of person who thinks keeping your negative emotions bottled up is a better idea than confronting anyone, then you are at risk for developing this disorder. Yes, those bottled up emotions may well escalate to panic or anxiety attacks.
One more thing that could trigger or cause your attacks is taking drugs. I don't mean taking prohibited drugs, the drugs I am referring to are regular prescription drugs that have an initial adverse effect of panic attacks. There is no need to fret though as like what I have said, this is just an initial reaction to the drug and the chances of it lasting longer than expected is very slim.You may also consider a tragic event, like a lost of a loved one, to be a triggering factor to the disorder. Imagine how stressful and traumatic it could be to see someone die right before your very eyes. That image could stick in your mind and the stress and anxiety it brings about can lead to your attacks.Now you see how many things can actually cause your attacks; and that is just the tip of the ice berg, there are many other things that we can discuss. For now, let me just say that the best way to avoid your attacks, is to avoid stress in general.
