Millions of America adults suffer from panic strikes. Panic attacks might be one of the more common of its signs. Although a panic attack is varied for each individual, there is an underlying truth for everyone who suffers from them.
They’re scary.
When someone experiences these disorders, it is debilitating. People know what they are enduring is unreasonable, but they’ve become used to a learned response so, for them, it’s a natural response.
Maybe one of the worst parts of panic attacks in the confusion over their appearance. A panic attack can happen at any time — even when someone is asleep. That fear-inducing attack peaks after about 10-minutes but the exhausting traits can last long after that.
In an attempt to know what it is like to experience a panic attack, Facebook support groups were invited to describe what a panic attack feels like.
