Panic Attacks and “Who Gives a Hoot”: The Perfect Couple

0

There are so many management strategies and techniques available to help us manage our panic attacks, agoraphobia, derealization, depersonalization, avoidance, and whatever else panic and anxiety may throw our way. Some of them are incredibly simple; however, our occupied minds roll right over them. It isn’t too awfully surprising that we don’t at times see the forest for the trees, is it? Well, one of the techniques I’ve used over the years to help me publicly cope with panic is something I refer to as “Who Gives a Hoot.”

Incorporating the principles of “Who Gives a Hootness,” I was fully prepared to be seen as the biggest fool in the world during a panic attack and not give a hoot about what anyone thought. I believe adopting this philosophy is so very essential to recovery. No doubt, we’re always overly concerned about how we’ll appear if a stranger witnesses one of our panic attacks. To us, that would be the ultimate in humiliation. What would we say? How could we explain? And this obsession with not wanting to be seen having a panic attack is just one of the major contributors to so many of our avoidance challenges.

Panic Attacks, Fear, and Learning: Fresh Insights

0

Any sufferer of panic attacks, agoraphobia, derealization, depersonalization, generalized anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress, or obsessions and compulsions is likely to have a pretty good feel for the concept of fear. Perhaps an understatement, right? Heck, as I was writing this article I opened my panic attack recovery eWorkbook and ran a “find” on the word “fear.” It appeared 270 times! So I’m thinking there’s a lot of it floating about.

Now, any number of experts will proclaim fear is a matter of thought, and others will refer to it as an emotion. No matter now, because for the sake of this article we’re going to consider fear as purely a learned phenomenon. And the lesson is learned through association with some sort of unpleasant event that occurred in the past. But, just how does this biochemically occur? And why is having the answer to that question important to us? Stay tuned.

Well, it seems as though neuroscientists have now located the very neurons that are responsible for fear learning in mammals. Using a highly sophisticated imaging technique called Arc catFISH (FISH is an acronym for fluorescence in situ hybridization) researchers at the University of Washington have traced all sorts of neural activation in the brains of rats. And they’ve pinpointed the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala as central in the dynamics of fear encoding.

Functions of nurses

Recent changes in health care reflect changes in the population that require care and a philosophical shift towards health promotion rather than treatment of illness. The role has broadened in response to these changes. Nurses are caregivers, as always, but now they’re also educators, advocates, leaders and managers, change agents and researchers.

Taking Back Your Life After Depression

depression
by kusine

Depression is a ordinary but serious illness, and most who experience it need treatment to get well again. Many people with depression never inquire about treatment. But the vast majority, even those with the most severe depression, can get better with treatment. Intensive research into depression has resulted in the development of medications, psychotherapies, and other methods to treat people with this disabling disorder.

In any given 1-year period, 9.5 percent of the population, or about 18.8 million American adults, suffer from depression. The economic cost for depression is excessive, but the cost in human suffering cannot be estimated. Depression can often interfere with routine functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who worry about them. Critical depression can ruin family life as well as the life of the ill person. But much of this suffering due to depression is unnecessary.
