How to Stop Panic Attacks: Effective Steps to Regain Control

Panic attacks are always the aftermath of some stress. You’re living your life without any issues or panic attacks, but then something stressful happens—a difficult day, month, or even year—and suddenly, the panic attacks start. Panic attacks are always episodes after the stress, not during.

How to cure them? First, remember what triggered the panic attacks. Identify the specific event or situation and ensure it can never happen again. This is crucial—step number one.

Step number two—during a panic attack, don’t generate fear-based thoughts. Think about anything else, recite poetry, pray, praise yourself. Think whatever you like, but don’t generate fear. The panic attacks will go away.
