20 to 22 percent of young adults have a panic attack at least once in their lives. Whether this develops into a panic or anxiety disorder depends on the circumstances. Most patients have a long period of stress, a death, separation or job loss in their history. If you develop this kind of stress, some people turn to alcohol, drugs or depression. Men in particular find it difficult to admit that they have psychological problems, as they fear that they will be seen as weak.

Therapy for panic attacks

In an article on the online blog ze.tt, a patient tells the editor about his ordeal and his attempts to cope with panic attacks on his own. He uses the drug MDMA to get help.

Behavioral and psychotherapist Jürgen Steurer from JUVENIS in Vienna is consulted and comments on the affected person's approach and reveals what really helps best: confrontation. Only those who confront their fear can get rid of the anxiety disorder.
