What is the cause of panic attacks and anxiety?

I'll tell you and I'll give you THE solution!

Anxiety is actually a really useful tool for detecting danger but when anxiety levels escalate to an inappropriate level it can be very disturbing and intrusive.

So what is the cause of panic attacks and anxiety?

Anxiety levels become heightened when situations arise which present us with potential danger. As we face an anxiety provoking situation, adrenaline is released by the brain, specifically a small organ called the Amygdala, (which controls the anxiety response), in order to prepare the body for what is commonly referred to as 'the flight or fight' response.

THIS is the true cause of panic attacks and anxiety!

This process has evolved in order to prepare the body for action when faced with danger and is vitally important for survival but it also activates the anxiety response. The body is then primed for action, but when there isn't a danger present, this anxiety increase has no practical use and sometimes, panic ensues.

When the body is in a constant state of anxiety, ready for 'fight or flight'. The Limbic System, which is the regulator for emotional reactions in the brain, including anxiety, re-sets itself at a higher 'normal' level of anxiety. This higher level of anxiety manifests itself in may ways, this is called an anxiety disorder. Some people can cope with this increased arousal but most don't.

Anxiety disorders, (I dislike the word disorder, it suggests illness and anxiety isn't an illness), develop as a result of a relearning process which happens in the brain, allowing the body and brain to reset itself at a higher than normal anxiety level. This produces symptoms and sensations, these cause anxiety and worry and the spiral of negativity is started.

Anxiety isn't about mental illness, it's about a minute change in the way the brain handles anxiety provoking information from the sensory organs. There is a switch in everyone called the Amygdala, (located in the autonomic nervous system), which is either 'anxiety ON' or 'anxiety OFF'; when the switch is off it can be activated only by real danger, when it becomes 'stuck on' it can produce anxiety symptoms which are scary and 'chronic'. This organ is the actual cause of panic attacks and anxiety!

The symptoms are so real and so frightening and so capable of convincing us that there is, or could be, something seriously wrong with us that we become withdrawn, scared and untrusting. This and this alone is the true cause of panic attacks and anxiety, not the life events or stress as some psychologists or doctors would have you believe.

It is the cause of panic attacks and anxiety which needs to be addressed, not the catalyst for the increased anxiety.

This vicious cycle escalates until the sufferer becomes unable to function normally, this is when anxiety disorders become apparent... this alone is the cause of panic attacks and anxiety disorder and this alone needs to be addressed to eliminate them like the 105,273 people we have helped so far!
