Why do people have anxiety attacks?

Question

I suffer from time to time with anxiety attacks...they always happen when things are going wrong with my life....my car is my biggest issue right now. But why do I get them?

Answer 1

because your body is over loaded with stress. I suggest you take a serious time out from everyone and everything and relax for a couple of days. Give your body time to recharge and settle down.

Answer 2

It's a thought process that you do to yourself. It's a cycle of escalating thoughts about what MIGHT happen. There is a fantastic program put out by the Midwest Center for Anxiety and Depression. Look it up online and check it out. I used to have panic attacks a couple of times a day - now none for the last year. Panic IS something you can control.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Part of it is chemical imbalance and part of it is mental. try learning ways to calm yourself down and also try cutting back on certain foods containing caffeine. Take time to relax more often and if that doesnt work perhaps you may need to take a medication for these attacks. There are many ways to help cut back anxiety so try these before the medication thing, Use meds as a last resort.

Answer 4

Stress is a destructive issue on the human brain. When it builds,
it messes with the function that solves issues because there are too many, and the result is anxiety.

Answer 5

The hormones in our bodies react certain way under different circumstances. Anxiety attacks are caused by some abnormal behaviors in our hormones.
