Answers:
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!

Yes, you can; but it's very difficult. If I were you, I would take the medicine until your panic attacks are 100% gone. The medicine helps A LOT. also, the biggest way to overcome anxiety is to distract yourself. The best way to do that is to find a hobby on the computer or extracurricular. I would highly suggest playing a sport. That helps you get better big time.Health Question & Answer
Yes. I had a near miss with a panic attack last night. I was able to thwart it off with breathing techniques (learned through yoga, which I would suggest taking along with your therapy) and a verbal mantra. Granted it took quite some time but my anxiety attack did not turn into a panic attack. And I finally got some rest. There is also a lot of herbal supplements that can help with anxiety, they all act differently with different people but its worth trying some out. I take Valerian root which helps me a lot. Things like excercise also helps. As well as eliminating the things in your life that you obsess on when your anxiety is getting worked up.Health Question & Answer
Depends on how much anxiety you are having; and how it came about. If the anxiety is part of your chemistry or is deep rooted; it will need to be helped with medication. If it is situational, then you may be able to cure it with counseling and/or exercise, etc...Health Question & Answer
I believe so. I don't really agree with taking medications for psychological problems, but I do agree that some people really need them. If you don't feel that you need them discuss that with your doctor or psychologist and see what they say. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
