During anxiety, a sufferer will often experience symptoms such as a racing heart beat, a feeling of panic, sweating and shallow breathing. These physical manifestations of anxiety usually go along with an overpowering sense of impending death or disaster.

Having anxiety can start a cycle that is difficult to stop. This begins when a person becomes anxious when they experience even one typical symptom. For example, a person may begin to become fearful as soon as they start exercising because they feel their heart rate becoming faster. Your body will then react to your anxiety you will begin to experience more symptoms. This will cause more anxiety, which in turn causes more symptoms. This cycle can lead to more frequent anxiety, and makes it difficult to stop anxiety and prevent anxiety from happening in the future.

There is now a treatment available that can help to cure anxiety.

The person will induce these symptoms on themselves a number of times. This willing and constant exposure to the physical symptoms that accompany anxiety will help to prevent the person from experiencing anxiety in the future.

Since you are living through these symptoms with some measure of control over them, you will also have control over your fear, and learn that the symptoms are not dangerous. Over time, the anxious cycle will end, due to the end of the fear.

While you go through the treatment program of exposure, you will find your anxiety decreasing in number and in intensity.

Panic attacks are the most extreme manifestation of panic disorder, an anxiety response resulting from an over-production and under-use of adrenalin, the bodily chemical which cause them. When the anxiety reaction has no use for adrenalin, this powerful hormone can create a group of physical reactions which can peak with the formation of a panic attack. This response is natural and physical - it has nothing to do with mental or physical illness or chemical imbalances, but it can feel very threatening indeed.

Anxiety can affect groups and whole societies as well as individuals. There has been, for almost a decade in the United States, a mass fear of terrorist attack, brought on by the 2001 attack of 9/11. It is difficult, however, to maintain a high level of anxiety over a long period without it being considered a disorder. This is why it was decided, during World War II, that soldiers cannot be kept in the continual anxiety of combat situations for more than a year without suffering serious mental damage.

Look at what reactions happen within your mind and body. Chemicals produced and released internally are the catalyst to all the symptoms of a anxiety attack. Your body is an amazing machine and the network of nerves and sensory receptors in the body transmit all the information as it is received. Our brain will transmit warnings through a complex cerebral cortex causing the decision process to kick into life. This in turn lets the good old brain know whether the actual problem is real or just your imagination playing havoc with you. If the correct buttons are hit, you will find that chemicals are released into the body and physical changes are the result.
