It is an anxiety disorder or anxiety attacks featured by overwhelming anxiety and excessive self-consciousness of a person in daily social situations. A person finds it hard to walk down the road or any street because he’s very self-conscious and feels that people are watching him. People with social anxiety feels that in public places like work, shopping, meeting etc. that everyone is watching them, and judging them. They can’t relax and enjoy themselves in public. They prefer to be alone or with closed ones. Because this type of anxiety is very painful, people having this kind of disorder finds it easy to stay away from these social situations and avoid other people.

Many people are struggle with these kinds of fears. But the situation that triggers the symptoms of social phobia can be different from person to person. Some people feel anxiety in most social and performance situations while for some other people anxiety is connected with some specific social situations such as speaking with strangers or going to parties etc. Physical symptoms of this social phobia anxiety disorder include rapid breathing, dry mouth, sweating, blushing, muscle tension, shaky voice, dizziness, twitching etc.
The treatment for social anxiety disorder varies from person to person. One may find the self-help strategies enough to ease his anxiety symptoms or one may need professional help as well some therapy or medication. Some of the self help treatments includes avoid or use of less caffeine, getting adequate sleep, quitting of smoking etc. Normally medication is also used to relieve from the problem of social anxiety but it is not a cure for this disorder. Among all the treatments available cognitive behavioral therapy can be said to work the best for treating social phobia or social anxiety disorder. This therapy includes the ways of controlling the symptoms of anxiety through relaxation techniques and some breathing exercises, replacing the negative thoughts with balanced views, facing those social situations in which the anxiety occurs rather than avoiding them. If the level of anxiety is increasing just consult your doctor and then go to a mental health professional and start taking the behavioral therapy

Panic attacks can come in any size and shape and may last for few seconds to some days. Nothing can be surely said about the cause of these attacks. They may be due to a stressful situation, any traumatic event in the past, an illness or diabetes, pregnancy, imbalance of nutrition etc. But whatever be the cause, one needs to learn how panic attack can be avoided. There is not too much difference between the panic attacks and anxiety attacks. Due to this both anxiety attacks and panic attack are used interchangeably.

Symptoms of Panic attacks are like one can’t breathe, he is having nausea and chest pains and may experiencing a numbness in his arms and legs. He starts experiencing a twitching sensation in his face or eye. Although the symptoms of panic attack may not lead to death but in case of a full blown attack person feels that he is dying. A panic attack disables a person temporarily to do even the simple tasks. Panic attack treatments are a must and it’s not a difficult task to prevent the panic attacks. By just following the simple tips, you can prevent the panic attacks:

1.    Identify the causes of your panic attack. Understand what causes you to stress out. Then chalk out a plan to avoid that stressed situation.
2.    Make a habit of doing exercise regularly. Exercise makes you feel better and give more energy.
3.    Don’t consume those foods, beverages, and pills that contain caffeine because caffeine acts as a stimulant and triggers your nervous system. Consume     the foods rich of vitamins and nutrients.
4.    Deep Breathing also helps to reduce the stress. Learn yoga and when you feel the panic attack, try to focus on your deep breathing.
5.    Take enough sleep. As you sleep you feel relieved and your stress goes out. An unhealthy sleep can agitate your body and mind.
6.    Think about some good things or funny things happened to you in the past. Just sing a song, whistle and make your mind free of stress.

If the above tips are not working and symptoms are more serious, then take the counseling and consult your doctor or the mental health provider.
