There’s so much info online about anxiety attack treatment that it can be really confusing. I thought it might help if I broke down the popular treatments here. I have some experience with most of these so I thought I could give some good advice about them.
Anxiety Medication
This is the most popular treatment but I don’t like it. Most of the drugs out there for anxiety attack treatment alter your mood, not your anxiety. They don’t fix the problem, they just make you feel fuzzy so you don’t care about your anxiety.
In my experience anxiety medications are best for people who have severe anxiety. By severe I mean it stops them from living a normal life. The medications prescribed are also best for depression and not generalized anxiety disorder symptoms.
But I can’t say that this type of anxiety attack treatment won’t work for you. Medications affect different people in different ways. I may feel awful, while you may feel great and we both used the same thing.
If you feel like your anxiety is severe in enough, you might want to see your doctor about a prescription. But I still don’t recommend it. There are really good treatments available that aren’t as expensive, or as dangerous.
Self-Hypnosis for Anxiety
I won’t spend a lot of time on self hypnosis because I don’t know how or why it works. I’ve had limited success with self hypnosis CD’s. I think it depends on what problems you’re trying to fix as to how effective they are.
I’ve spoken with many people who swear their anxiety was cured by listening to self hypnosis recordings. If you want to give it a try, I recommend Richard McKenzie’s recordings since they were the ones I got the most out of.
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) for Anxiety
Try not to get caught up in the complicated name. NLP are just exercises that change your habits. As an anxiety attack treatment, NLP is best if you know what causes your attacks.
If your anxiety is caused by a specific place or event, NLP can help you change how you react to that situation.
That what’s great about NLP: it changes your negative reactions into positive reactions. If you know what sets off your anxiety attacks, this is the ideal treatment for you.
Anxiety Supplements
There’s only one supplement I know of that might help anxiety attacks. SAMe can help boot energy and improve mood. It has been used for a long time to help treat depression.
I don’t know of anyone who has used it as an anxiety attack treatment, but it could help you keep a positive outlook and it’s relatively cheap. I’d say it’s worth the try.
Panic Away
This is an eBook written six or seven years back. I saved it for last because I think it’s the most effective and long-term of all the solutions. The book revolves around the “One Move Technique,” which isn’t at all what it sounds like.
The books technique works by making anxiety attacks harmless. It takes the fear out of them. It makes them seem small and easy to handle.
I don’t want to step on the author’s toes and give anything away, but I’ve written a more in depth Panic Away review if you want more info.
I liked this book because it showed me how I was actually making my anxiety worse. It really changed the way I handle stress now. It’s done good things for me so I always recommend giving it a try.
Are you still suffering from generalized anxiety when you don’t have to?
If your answer to the above question is yes, I strongly recommend that you try Panic Away.
This guide has been the best-selling and most effective guide to curing panic attacks and generalized anxiety on the internet for the last 7 years.
