Should a person be interested on papers regarding panic disorders, there is plenty out there and plenty to read. Should a person want to write about it, there are many ways to do the research.
One of the best places to start is the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. People can contact the employees by writing, calling or going through the Internet. ADAA is a nonprofit organization set on getting awareness out about the different anxieties people can face. It also keeps up with the medical studies, will report on new research and publishes a newsletter. Two other organizations also maintain websites. These are: Anxiety Network International and Obsessive Compulsive Foundation.
Should a person need to write a paper on panic issues, there are several different topics within this broad category.
* How to recognize the start of the panic attack
* How to arrest a panic attack
* How to recognize thinking that leads to panic attacks
* How to differentiate between anxiety and panic attacks
* How to take control of your life
Should someone need to write a paper about panic disorders, start by gathering research on the Internet and getting other research materials. To really do a good job, a person should really understand what they are writing about. To start off... understand the meanings behind stress, depression, relaxation, worry and phobias. Phobias and disorders can lead to huge misunderstandings if someone does not know the difference.
Any paper about panic disorders will tell the person what happens when a panic attack happens to the sufferers with anxiety and have full blown panic disorder.
What is typically misundestood is that panic disorders and anxiety attacks are not the same. Anxiety attacks are when a person is overly worried about something that can be desribed. This worry begins to cause a physical reaction. Yet, when it becomes so intense that the person ignores it, then it turns into a phobia.
Example: Hood flies up at you - You are driving down the highway, driving sixty miles per hour and all of a sudden the hood flies up. You pull over calmly then break down into tears. Afterwards, it is hard for you to drive on the road at anything higher than forty miles per hour. This turns into a phobia.
As the person reads further on into the paper on panic disorders, they will find that the anxiety turns into a disorder even when physical symptoms are not attributed to anything in particular. It then says there is nothing to avoid because the situation is not defined. The anxiety here is not a phobia.
This is one area of study with anxiety and panic disorders that is available to research on. It is imperative to understand the definitions to deal with the personal problems in the right manner so you can understand what you are reading.
One note: Depending on the kinds of attacks experienced, medications versus relaxation techniques can be used.

QUESTION:
Has anyone every had a panic attack where your left arm and other limbs get tingly?
I went to the er because of this they said i have panic attack disorder and prescribed me ativan? Just wondering what others side affects are from panic disorder. Thanks in advance.-
ANSWER:
Yes panic attacks commonly cause tingling and numbness. It happens when you hyperventilate - maybe you felt like you couldn't breathe properly yet you were breathing really deeply.When you breathe out, you get rid of carbon dioxide. If you breathe faster, you get rid of more carbon dioxide than usual, so less is left in your blood. This changes the pH of your blood - it gets more alkaline. This then has lots of other effects, one of which is to make you very tingly and dizzy and generally feel weird. This is why people are sometimes told to breathe into a paper bag - they breathe back in some of the carbon dioxide they just breathed out, so they don't get rid of som much.

ANSWER:
The answer is no. However, don't sweat it. Stay on the prozac, work with a councilor, and by the time you can inlist, your panic attacks will probably be in the past.You are going through the biggest hormonal realignment the human body experiences outside the womb; it is never easy, and there are often rough spots. Don't let it worry you. You grow out of it.
A goal like that is often a good tool in therapy. Don't let anything stand in your way. Work through the problem, and be done with it.
Good luck. I am including my review of Prozac; it has some of my personal experiences with the drug. Hope it helps.
