Panic Away Updated Book Review – What Panic Away Can Do for Depression, Panic Attacks, Anxiety, and Social Phobias

Earlier, we posted our first review of Panic Away, the book on anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. We talked about my personal story and my own experience with anxiety and stress last time. Let’s get more specific about Panic Away‘s materials and do an in-depth book review on each section of Panic Away, and how it can help you deal with anxiety (and the depression and loneliness often associated with it).

Here’s what Panic Away offers–a comprehensive book covering the topics of what anxiety disorder is, how to deal with (and survive!) panic attacks, associated symptoms such as unwanted thoughts and physical sensations, followed by discussions of individual phobias, and even a discussion on medication. (To be on the safe side, always consult your physician before starting or stopping any type of medication!). Let’s get into the different anxiety (both for panic attacks and generalized) sections in Panic Away.

 

Panic Away Book Review – What Is Anxiety Disorder?

Panic Away begins with a definition of anxiety disorder (and how it can be tied to depression). While anxiety can be caused by chemical imbalances, it isn’t always necessary to treat with drugs. I emphasize this point because I prefer to avoid medication unless it’s absolutely necessary. For the longest time, I believed it was a matter of time before I myself ended up on Prozac, Zoloft, or some other kind of anti-depressant Panic Away mentions, but with Panic Away, you can diagnose your own symptoms and treat them directly.

Panic Away – Dealing With Panic Attacks

Panic Away then discusses anxiety symptoms (such as social phobias and depression) and gets into valuable tools. The “21-Second Countdown” mental exercise helps you recognize and survive a panic attack by teaching you to observe, embrace, and take control of your anxious feelings, and ultimately, to trust yourself to handle them. This is one of the most valuable parts of Panic Away, and although I recommend going through the entire system, those of us suffering from regular panic attacks will want to focus on this section (while those of us with social phobias, generalized anxiety, or depression will want to read on).

 

Panic Away – Specific Phobias And Generalized Anxiety (and Depression)

Panic Away also covers various phobias, including fear of flying, public speaking, and open spaces (also known as agoraphobia). If you suffer from these fears as a part of your anxiety, these sections can be helpful (I suffered from fear of public speaking for many years as the result of mine). However, if you have deeper issues with specific phobias that aren’t addressed here, definitely think about consulting a therapist. Again, Panic Away is mainly about anxiety disorder (and symptoms like depression, panic attacks, and generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD).

Panic Away has a comprehensive section on GAD, that nagging feeling of unease and discomfort, like something bad is about to happen. There’s another routine called “The 7 Minute Exercise,” plus the “C.A.L.M. Recovery,” which stands for “Community support, Acceptance, Lifestyle changes, and Meaning.” For me, acceptance was big. Just knowing that I wasn’t a crazy person, but rather a person suffering from generalized anxiety, went a long way. Also, cutting out caffeine was a huge help for me. Panic Away has tips in all these areas to help steer you in the right direction to treat your anxiety and social phobias.

Panic Away – Anxiety Symptoms, Time-Of-Day Symptoms

The last part of Panic Away offers visualization and deep breathing exercises, which can deal with anxiety on the spot and prevent you from spiraling into the usual cycle of depression, frustration, and loneliness. It covers morning anxiety, night panic, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), heart palpitations, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome, which is surprisingly common in anxiety sufferers), and of course, depression. This helpful section of Panic Away also has concluding thoughts on daily setbacks and turning the corner.

Panic Away, The Book Review – Does Panic Away Really Help With Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Social Phobias?

Panic Away is a book and video series built to help people with depression, social anxiety, and panic attacks. Those private, but very real feelings that make us feel helpless and alone. Can Panic Away really address the frustration, the depression, the panic attacks, and the stress?

 

 

Panic Away asks, do you ever feel: That something terrible is about to happen? Completely overwhelmed? A general sense of unease or depression? Like you’re going crazy? That other people around you think you’re crazy? Dizziness? Guilt, as though these feelings make you a bad person, or that you’re being punished somehow? (Don’t worry–depression, unease, panic attacks–Panic Away covers all of this.)

 

If you answered yes to one or more of these, Panic Away tells us you might be suffering from anxiety disorder, and unfortunately, Panic Away and other sources suggest anxiety and panic attacks are often tied to depression, but there is hope.

 

Panic Away – My Story of Depression, Panic Attacks, and Anxiety

Before we review Panic Away, let me share my story. I struggled with anxiety disorder from childhood. I had demanding parents, so I pushed myself hard in both school and work. I found myself in a never-ending cycle of depression and nervousness, pulling all-nighters for mid-term exams or for work projects. The stress would always get to me. I’d feel overwhelmed and avoid doing what I needed to do–even when the work wasn’t that difficult. I had dizzying panic attacks where the room would spin. And most confusingly, I thought I’d do something crazy–like quit in the middle of a crucial project for no reason. Or jump off the roof, which was terrifying not because I might get hurt, but because people might see me  and think I was crazy, which would be humiliating. Or worse…maybe I’d hurt someone. (Yes, these disturbing thoughts are covered in Panic Away.)

 

As I later realized after reading Panic Away, these strange thoughts made me feel afraid…and guilty. Why would I jump out of a window…or hurt someone ? Was I a bad person? Why did I feel this way? Was I being punished? (Panic Away explains that the feelings, the panic attacks, and the depression are a normal part of anxiety disorder.)

 

Despite the anxiety and depression, I learned from Panic Away that I wasn’t crazy. I never jumped off a building. I never hurt anybody. People thought I was the most dependable and stable guy they knew. Because I hid everything. I buried the anxiety, sadness, and fear. After all, I’m a man. Men are tough. They certainly never get panic attacks! Even though I hid my anxiety, I felt deeply ashamed. Why couldn’t I deal with my stress like a real man? Like a normal person? (Fortunately, Panic Away covers how to handle stress and depression.)

 

That’s when I found out about Panic Away, and learned about what anxiety disorder really is. Anxiety is not a mental illness. It’s a behavioral state. It’s surprisingly common. And it can be treated. I learned I could survive my anxious episodes because they were just temporary. Anxiety, and panic attacks, and event depression will pass. (Panic Away will show you how.)

 

So I recommend Panic Away. It details what it feels like to have panic attacks (trust me, you’ll recognize it), what anxiety disorder is (and what it isn’t–namely schizophrenia or manic depression), and how to interrupt that cycle of anxiety and unrealistic thinking. It also discusses depression, plus physical symptoms, including increased heart rate and shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, and in some cases, abdominal pain and cramping. Panic Away covers how to recognize feelings of anxiety and stop them using a repeatable, step-by-step process.

 

Panic Away also covers generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), that ongoing feeling of unease and discomfort that leads to insomnia, exhaustion, and yes, even depression. Again, feeling anxious doesn’t mean you have mental problems. You can address it with another step-by-step process. The book also discusses anxiety throughout the day, triggered by different situations. I know the book and companion video and audio can help. Because thanks to Panic Away, I no longer suffer from generalized anxiety and can enjoy my friends, my family, and my life.
