Panic attacks are a survival mechanism desgined to protect you from immediate physical danger.

But what if you're not in any immediate danger or danger at all?

Sometimes life becomes alot resulting in becoming a major problem.

More often than not it's easier to just take medication then to try to figure out what is causing it,

In many causes not wanting to confront the issues.

How can you confront those demons?

Oh look! A panic attack. Great.

How can one manage and over come panic attacks when thinking of solving the causes is even scarier then the actual problems?
