Have you ever faced it?

We are getting advanced day by day in the technology, science and medicine fields. But at the same time, all this fast-paced advancement gives us stress, anxiety and depression.

The above three are not the same, but they are related to each other. Few find it fancy to label themselves as being depressed and stressed, not knowing about the difference between all these emotions.

  • Stress occurs when there is something that needs to be completed within deadlines.
  • Anxiety happens when fear turns into overthinking.
  • And finally, depression comes when the appetite for life is gone.

When any of these emotions gets uncontrollable,  people stumble to handle them and that intense fear leads to panic attacks.

A sudden feeling of dizziness, getting nervous, a sense of trembling and fear of losing control are the major signs of having panic attacks. Sometimes, if all these symptoms start gradually and continue to prolong, it is also known as anxiety attacks.

During the pre-era, all these emotions were generally labelled as sadness. But in this century, there are improvised methods to find out the occurrence of these emotional triggers as well as to know what kind of reaction a human body undergoes while suffering with these panic attacks.

“Sometimes panic might start in your body itself, and then create processes within your brain. Other times, your brain could initiate the entire onset of a panic attack, which then manifests itself in your body,” says says Justin Feinstein PhD, a clinical neuropsychologist and director of the Float Clinic and Research Center at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

We are busy checking our social medias, binge watching and online shopping, but do not bother to know the right differences between all these kinds of negative emotions that we go through.

Hence, if you ever face stress, anxiety, depression or panic attacks, start giving proper attention and try to identify the cause, rather than bearing silently.
