Who truly understands panic attacks and anxiety?

Only those who have experienced them first hand. It's just one of those things.

If you have never had a panic attack, you are just not going to understand how terrifying they are to someone experiencing them.

I guess it's a little like pregnancy. Men can sympathize and possibly imagine what it might be like, but they'll never truly understand.

If you struggle with panic attacks and anxiety, it's important and useful to be aware of this reality. Then, you're less likely to be resentful of those in your family who don't understand. You're also less likely to take it personally when they don't offer support. It's difficult to be supportive around something that you have no understanding of.

If you are struggling with panic attacks and anxiety, it's vital to get the support, validation and assistance you need. And you can receive these from . . .

An anxiety treatment expert - a therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

I'm often asked if I've ever had a panic attack. This often makes me chuckle because it is my own past struggle with anxiety disorder symptoms and breakthrough that led me down the path to specializing in anxiety treatment and then later creating The April Center for Anxiety Attack Management - Los Angeles.

So, when struggling with any form of anxiety disorder, including panic attacks or panic disorder, phobia, OCD, social anxiety or general anxiety, contact an expert who can provide you with support, validation and, most importantly, relief.
