How to Help Someone With Panic Attacks
Recently, the National Institute for Mental Health reported that over forty million Americans from age eighteen and onwards suffer from anxiety attacks. Moreover, there are six million Americans within the same age group who suffer from panic disorder. And there are over seven million people in the United States who have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and fifteen million people in said country who are growing anxious when they are put in social circumstances. Though this may be the case, there is a great awareness about psychological illnesses in the United States so, relatives and friends are more educated and more equipped in how to help someone with panic attacks.
But then, anxiety disorder and other psychological illnesses strike anyone regardless of age, race, location and social status. In fact, there are about twenty four million people who suffer from schizophrenia alone, a psychological illness where the primary symptom is visual and auditory psychosis. In addition, the World Health Organizaiotn (WHO) reported that there are ten to twenty percent children worldwide who have one or more mental and behavioral issues today.
