“I have been suffering from panic attacks for a long time and I have been using medication, but I have not fully recovered, what should I do?” I think this is the question I am asked most often on the internet. Similarly, I frequently come across questions and comments such as "I have been going from doctor to doctor and tried almost all medications", "I don't know if these medications work", "I can't even go out even though I use medication". So why are many panic attack patients dissatisfied with drug treatment? Why do we go from doctor to doctor and medicines are constantly changing? Actually, the answer to this question is simple; “panic attack is not a disease, it is a defense.” In other words, it is an alarm system that warns you when you do something wrong in life, behave in ways that will make you unhappy, or betray yourself. What kind of messages might panic be trying to give? For example, if Panik could talk, what would he say to you? Let me give you some frequently seen examples; “You are so giving”, “you work so hard”, “you stand so strong”, “you can't keep up with everything”, “you can't control everything”, “you don't have to make everyone happy”, “don't stop thinking”, “you are too counter-focused”… etc. In other words, instead of changing our lives by taking the message that panic is trying to give, which will actually be good for us, using only medication causes many problems to become ossified and a disease process that will last for a very long time. Because of this very clear analysis, psychotherapy support must be provided to every client diagnosed with panic attacks or anxiety. It is pointless to try to maintain the status quo with drugs without changing the bad job, bad marriage, bad family relationships in your favor and is one of the factors that can explain the failure of the drug. When psychotherapy techniques, techniques such as breathing and mindfulness and vital arrangements are made by an experienced therapist, panic The attack begins to resolve completely and in a short time, sometimes within a few sessions. If necessary, temporary medication may be added in addition to psychotherapy. Unlike drug therapy, psychotherapy can provide a permanent solution with the awareness it creates. In case of unavoidable life stresses and non-perceptual obligations, drug treatment can be used temporarily.
In fact, the summary of this article is “the body does not betray you, it detects your betrayal of yourself.” "It might show ze." Instead of silencing the body, I suggest you receive the necessary messages and make bold changes.
Stay with love and peace.
