I`m glad this stuff is being talked about. I am 51 years old and nobody really talked about this in the 70`s, 80`s, and probably the 90`s. The pain is very real with panic and anxiety.
So what is it called when you get really overwhelmed from a situation that is causing you anxiety, suddenly get hot flashes and dissociation and thus cannot concentrate on what you’re doing because your mind checked out?
God I'm so confused I thought anxiety attacks had a specific trigger and panic attacks were random and with no trigger. My 'attacks' have triggers but they are definitely not just worry. I legitimately cannot breathe and my throat and chest close up and I have more anxiety BECAUSE I can't breathe and I cry and have an adrenaline rush
Hi Tic Tac, traditionally panic attacks have been split into a number of categories, the two biggest being "out of the blue" panic attacks (supposedly not having any triggers) and situational panic attacks (triggered by specific types of situations, most often those where people fear they could get trapped somehow and unable to escape easily if they had a panic attack). There are other categories too, but I'll leave that for other videos. We now know, from research by Alicia Meuret at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, that ALL panic attacks are triggered. The reason why "out of the blue" panic attacks seem to come from out of the blue, is just because the triggers are out of our awareness. I go into this (and what to do about it) in much more detail in my free "Panic Free TV Foundation Series" which you can find on my website here: www.PanicFree.TV. It will take away any confusion you've been having. Thanks for commenting!
Anxiety attack- exams next day interview next day Going on an airplane for the first time Going on roller coaster rides for the first time Panic attack- It comes out of blue and you feel like you are having a heart attack
I'm guessing i have anxiety attacks more often. I get dizzy and start freaking out over things that I cant control or situations that seem very hopeless :c this helped me distinguish the difference and a lot of your videos have helped me with my anxiety! thanks
I've had either panic attacks or anxiety attacks for over 30 years ... They come out of nowhere usually, not thinking about anything stressful ... My heart beats rapidly, I have a hard time breathing, feels like I might swallow my tongue ... Of course my mind reacts to all of this which makes it worse ... I have learned how to ride less severe attacks out by surrendering to the waves of panic and ride them, not struggle ... Even with that tool the experience is very hard ... I've tried different methods to treat them, biofeedback, hypnosis, meditation etc .... The only thing that prevents them for me is medication ...
Hi Ladymiss, what you describe is very typical and taking an acceptance-based approach (just trying to surrender to the waves and ride them out) can work. This approach was pioneered by the late Claire Weekes, and also has roots in the various meditative traditions (reaching back thousands of years). I have a TH-cam video about mindfulness meditation and panic that may be of interest to you here: th-cam.com/video/_EbqcVH9eVg/w-d-xo.html. However, acceptance-based approaches for panic are old approaches and we have FAR more effective methods nowadays. I think you'll find my free 4-part "Panic Free TV Foundation" video series most helpful for you. In this series I share many things, including a scientifically-validated technique for stopping panic attacks, that's much more useful than just trying to "ride it out". You can watch this video series for free on my website at www.PanicFree.TV.
I KNEW IT. I knew it. I avoid caffeine like the plague. I had decaf and it fucked me over all day. I sat in transportation holding back tears for a straight hour today. Thanks for presenting the difference in an organized video. So much.
Hi Jasmyn, you're welcome. Caffeine can definitely trigger panic attacks. I have a TH-cam video that goes into much more detail on the relationship between caffeine and panic attacks here: th-cam.com/video/X1j9f6AbxQ0/w-d-xo.html.
I'm glad this distinction has been clarified. I always felt like my anxiety attacks were causing me to panic, while at the same time my panic attacks were making me anxious.
Started this 5 days ago and has made a huge difference already my panic attacks have stopped. Thank you so much. I’ll be keeping my breathing relaxing techniques up as a preventative cure from now on.
this was very helpful. I get anxiety attacks whenever something reminds me of a dog attack when i was 12. I've been having more attacks than usual, so i've been trying to better understand them to see if i can manage them better.
Hi Ginelle, I'm sorry to hear about the dog attack you went through. Obviously, I have a range of videos on my TH-cam channel that may help you understand more, but I think what would help you most is my in-depth video series called "The Panic Free TV Foundation Series". It's also free and you'll find on my website: www.PanicFree.TV. This series goes much deeper into panic and anxiety than my TH-cam videos. Thanks so much for commenting.
And i had been describing my anxiety flares as panic attacks this whole time. I'm glad i found a video that could articulate the difference, and do so in such a calm, pleasing voice!
I am so glad i came across this and that there is someone who acknowledges the importance of words and meaning concerned to mental health in atleast some part of the world
I deal with very intense, debilitating panic attacks which is why I get so upset when people around me refer to a moment of anxiety as a panic attack. 😞
I watched this video last night and got a lot of thinking done. I slept well and woke up refreshed this morning and I am here to tell you this. Thanks so much! Subscribed!! 🙏
ive had both a panic and anxiety attack before. ive only had one panic attack, and that was when i got stuck in a tree and i couldnt get down. i freaked out.
What if you have gad and panic attacks? Are you both or is there another term. I'm constantly worried,have trouble sleeping and have multiple panic attacks throughout the week.
I’m really a fan of your deep relaxation hypnosis video and made it part of my daily routine.. I have no direct feeling of anxiety or panic attack but a constant bounding pulse which disturb my sleep and eventually causes stress. I was told by the cardiologist that it must be psychosomatic, would that count as panic attack? I was prescribed SSRI which gave me real panic attack and anxiety within 3 days so immediately stopped and looked for natural ways.. would that bounding pulse considered a form of panic attack? Have you encountered similar issue with other patients? Thank you for your good work
Hi Chris, yes... no one can truly understand what it's like to have a panic attack unless they've personally been through one. It's one of the most intense and horrible experiences anyone could ever go through. The good news, though, is that there is SO much we can do to quickly end panic attacks for good! No one needs to keep suffering.
this guy looks and sounds like the friendliest person in the world. thanks for all your great vids.
Thanks Joe. It takes a very friendly person to say what you just said :)
His voice is so nice and calming
Thanks Lex. I hope this video was helpful to you!

The internet is amazing isn’t it Chris. I feel grateful we can connect so easily, no matter where you live.
So what is it called when you get really overwhelmed from a situation that is causing you anxiety, suddenly get hot flashes and dissociation and thus cannot concentrate on what you’re doing because your mind checked out?
This is very informative and on a random note, you have a calming voice.
Agreed! :)
Thank you Delilah
Thank you Nadine
I want him to narrate my life story.
His voice is so calming.
God I'm so confused

Anxiety can lead to Panic Attacks in my experience
Absolutely. This is how it usually happens. I explain this in my Foundation Series at www.PanicFree.Tv
I've had either panic attacks or anxiety attacks for over 30 years ... They come out of nowhere usually, not thinking about anything stressful ... My heart beats rapidly, I have a hard time breathing, feels like I might swallow my tongue ... Of course my mind reacts to all of this which makes it worse ...

I’ll be keeping my breathing relaxing techniques up as a preventative cure from now on.
I love how he calms every anxiety I have
I literally just had a panic attack and I thought I was gonna die 💀 but I'm trying to learn to prevent it happening again, thanks for the video
