Depression and Panic Attacks

Panic attacks and depression can often go hand in hand. It's ironic that anxious feelings can accompany depressed feelings, but it does happen, and more often than you might think.

For many people, the depression is the result of living with anxiety and panic attacks for a long time. These problems have a way of tearing down the self -image and self-esteem, and this can often result in depression.

Living with the extreme tension and discomfort of regular panic attacks is enough to make even the toughest of individuals a bit depressed, so it should come as no surprise that these two problems often co-exist.

If you are experiencing panic attacks accompanied by depression, your first course of action should always be to see your doctor. Depression can be a very serious condition, and should not be taken lightly.

In situations where panic attacks and anxiety may be causing the depression (not uncommon), making progress on the anxiety problem will usually also have a positive effect on the depression.

In fact, some of the underlying causes of depression are the same as anxiety attacks. Particularly, the obsessive over-reaching for control that is present in anxiety sufferers, is often a big part of depression as well.

By trying to over-control ourselves and our environment, we create a tense, and non-productive state of mind which can lead to panic attacks, anxiety or even depression. By working with a good system for recovery, you can quickly learn to let go of some of this control, relieving the panic attacks and anxiety to a great extent.

The EasyCalm Anxiety Coaching Videos are really big on this subject. The exercises and practical concepts in the series were designed to stop the obsessive over-reaching for control that causes panic attacks and anxiety.

By learning to "let go" of their panic attacks, many people find that the panic-caused depression fades as well.
