A theory of anxiety and panic disorder is that it is the body's normal "alarm system." It is mental and physical mechanisms that allows an individual to respond to a threat and it also tends to be triggered unnecessarily when there is no danger.
Studies show us that counseling alone or with the combination of medication and counseling treatment are more effective than medication alone in the long-term management of anxiety and panic attacks.
In getting help with anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy is widely used in counseling for both adults and children.
This form of therapy seeks to help those with panic disorder identify and decrease the irrational thoughts and behaviors that reinforce panic and anxiety symptoms.
This can be administered either individually or in group therapy (Medicine net.com, 2015).
