Panic attacks children
Panic attacks Children what help is out their?
One of the worst feelings in the world is seeing your child suffering.
I can remember seeing my daughter have a full blown panic attack for the first time.
It looked as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. (It reminded me of the scene in the film alien when the crew are all standing round and the alien explodes out of the stomach.)
I don’t know who was more terrified my daughter or myself.
The panic attack lasted for approximately 10 minutes and took her about an hour to feel better again.
I took her to the doctors to find out what was wrong with her and I was told “don’t worry it’s a panic attack she will grow out of it” and I was handed a leaflet.
We took the leaflet home and had a read through but to be honest it really didn’t help.
I decided to do some research on the internet and typed in panic attacks children.
There I found thousands of sites with general information all saying the same thing.
Panic disorder
Children and adolescents with panic disorder have unexpected and repeated periods of intense fear or discomfort along with other symptoms such as racing heartbeat or feeling short of breath.
These “panic attacks” can last for minutes to hours.
Panic disorder often begins during adolescence, although it may start during childhood. Panic attacks can interfere with a child’s or adolescent’s relationships, schoolwork and, and normal development.
Panic disorder in children can be difficult to diagnose but once diagnosed the child usually responds well to treatment.

They all went on about the symptoms and Panic attacks children will respond well to treatment, but they didn’t explain what panic attacks treatment where out there.
One site I found went on about cognitive-behavioural approaches
I found a report on cognitive-behavioural approaches and started to read it but it seemed to be the treatment they use for offender programmes in prison so I didn’t think this was quite the right approach.
I then found an article on different drugs that can be used for the treatment of panic attacks.
After going to my doctors and been given a leaflet the last thing I wanted to do was go back and see her, and the thought of my daughter being on drugs for the rest of her life didn’t inspire me.
I also read through some of the side effects with some of these drugs and decided it was a no go.
I then found an interesting article on a course to stop panic attacks. The course was called PANIC AWAY.
It was a book, a video and a mp3 that could be downloaded on to her iPod.
I have to say this has been fantastic.
The first goal in this course is to go a whole week without a panic attack.
We both watched the video and where told about “the One Move Technique!” .
The presentation lasted about 1hour 45minutes.
She worked through the techniques and to my amazement my daughter went well over 3 weeks without a panic attack.
She always takes her iPod with her wherever she goes, this I have to say has been a god send.
This is great course, there are no drugs involved, and the only side effect is a happy more confident child.
