Anxiety Attack vs. Panic Attack
While the symptoms of anxiety attacks and panic attacks appear similar, there are some important differences to be aware of. Anxiety attacks aren’t acknowledged by experts as a disorder, but anxiety disorders can include anxiety attacks in their symptoms. Panic disorder, on the other hand, is a recognized disorder and includes both expected and unexpected attacks.
What is an anxiety attack? In general, an anxiety attack:
- Is triggered by external stimuli that are perceived as a threat, such as a phobia
- Can build gradually, with anxiety building as the perceived threat persists
- Is a more severe symptom of an anxiety disorder
- Is often caused by ongoing anxiety rather than a sudden, unanticipated threat
What is a panic attack?
- It can arise very unexpectedly and not from apparent external triggers
- People who experience panic attacks do not necessarily have ongoing anxiety
- It is characterized by more severe fight-or-flight physical symptoms
- Intense fears of dying, to the point of dissociation
Those who deal with anxiety can find it difficult to carry out daily routine tasks, and this anxiety can build up into an attack. Panic attacks, on the other hand, can present suddenly, in people who may otherwise feel fine. After someone experiences a panic attack, however, they may feel dread and fear that another panic attack will come on. This can plague everyday activities as well, though not exactly with the same cause and effect as anxiety attacks.
If you or a loved one is showing signs of anxiety or panic attacks, it may be time to find an anxiety treatment center near you. Find out more about Sunstone Recovery’s anxiety treatment program today.
