Queen of Confusion asked:


My boyfriend has severe depression, as well as anxiety disorders. Lately it’s been pretty bad. He’s already on a variety of medications. They lessen the severity, but like I said, it’s still pretty bad. What are some other ways he can bring his depression and anxiety under control? I don’t mean taking herbal remedies or anything like that. I mean something like exercising, which his doctor recommended.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Panic Attacks- The Medical Reasons Behind It!

Monday, June 29th, 2009


Medical disorders as well as psychological disorders are responsible for panic attacks on humans. Panic attacks caused due to medical disorders depend on the way the person handles anxiety in him. Medical disorders might also disturb a body with its effects that you might not have had a problem handling earlier. Panic attacks become harder and tougher to treat because of a few medical disorders.

Most of the doctors advise for a blood test when you are struck with a panic attack or just its symptoms. There are a lot of medical reasons why panic attacks happen quite often. Blood test happens to be the simplest and the cheapest way to find out the loop hole in these panic attacks on the body. Doctors are afraid many of these panic attacks might just mask the medical disorders as these are liable to become worse without even a treatment.

A thyroid disorder test is a must when it comes to testing for a medical caused panic attack. The doctor’s advices a thyroid disorder test immediately as it is known to cause irritability, anxiety and a few other psychological symptoms. These symptoms could be quite dangerous as they can build up to something more serious. A blood test is sufficient to test your thyroid disorder.

An example of a medical cause is sleep disorder. A good night’s sleep can lead from anxiety and frustration to panic attacks. Hence, it is very essential that good sleep is always encouraged and got. Everyone knows the importance of a good sleep and what it can do if you are deprived of it. Frustration and anxiety lead up to panic attacks when you are deprived of some good and healthy sleep. A sleep disorder check can confirm your panic attacks and help you solve them comfortably.

IBS or the Irritable Bowel Syndrome is when you are either having a chronic diarrhea or unable to have proper bowel movement. Uncontrollable diarrhea is a hindrance when it happens in public places where you have to keep excusing yourself. It might be embarrassing to keep going to the restroom if you are in school or a work. Frustration and irritation starts to creep when you have to keep visiting the restroom often especially when you are driving or in an important meeting. This begins to get big on you sometimes leading to anxiety and worry. Panic attacks follow soon, much to the misery of the person. You will feel better and confident if you could open up your problem with IBS and get a proper treatment for yourself. You can, thus, prevent visiting the restroom too often and hence alleviate he anxiety level and also a panic attack.

Heart conditions also can contribute to a medical cause which leads to panic attacks. The conditions in the heart can increase the possibility to cause the panic attacks. Heart rate, palpitations and tightening sensation in the chest are a few indications of a heart condition causing panic attack. This, in turn, causes more anxiety and invites more trouble, nonetheless. It is very important that you share all your problems with your doctor as he is the only one who could understand everything about it. Doctors can provide you the right medicine and medication to help you fight your panic attacks and get rid of them as soon as possible. Apart from all these, there could be a lot more symptoms regarding these panic attacks. One should ensure that these are noted properly and reported to the doctor without any delay. Symptoms of fear and panic can come in any form to a person anytime; hence it is advisable to get treated as soon as possible.

How do panic attacks effect you? How do you get over them?

Monday, June 29th, 2009


I have had depression for about 18 years now but started getting panic attacks about 3 years ago – it happened at work & I didnt know what was going on I was working 24/7 rotating roster in my job in a call centre but after I had my baby I didint want to work nights any more – I was put into a completely different section but was given no training – I begged for training as I didnt know what I was doing and was geting things wrong all the time – my supervisors said I didnt need the training as my stats were perfect – anyway one day I answered a call and suddenly it was like the world slowed down and I sped up – I was scared I didnt know what it was – after that I was scared of it happening again and eventually couldnt walk into work at all – now I get them all the time only now I have adrenalin surges usually for no reason at all eg watching TV or just using the internet etc & I now need valium to make them stop – how are you effected & what do you do to end the attack?
