Feeling a bit nervous during a job interview or panicking during an earthquake is obviously very normal. This kind of jittery will not interrupt your daily activities and you can continue having a normal life. However, if you are feeling nervous all the time even if you do not why, perhaps you are suffering from an anxiety disorder.

You may know if you have anxiety disorder if you are encountering the following symptoms:

• Trembling of Hands
• Chest pain
• Difficulty in breathing
• Vomiting
• Insomnia
• Headache or dizziness

If you think that you worry too much and you are having a hard time concentrating in doing your tasks, it must be really an anxiety disorder.

Being severely anxious is also another sign of anxiety attack or panic attack. You may never know when panic attack will visit you. You may also have the tendency to develop a negative behavior if your anxiety attack continues. It is therefore important to know the methods of curing panic attacks.

Curing panic attacks is easy. Mild cases may only require you to perform the self-help techniques which include reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, as well as dropping the smoking habit, having a regular exercise, and performing relaxing techniques.

Curing panic attacks likewise includes behavioral therapies. The most effective treatment among these therapies is the cognitive-behavioral therapy. The other one is the exposure therapy that allows you to control your panic.

Taking drugs such as antidepressant and benzodiazepines are also good options, although they do not provide real cure. The former takes several days before you feel its effect while the latter can give you a quick effect. However, both must be carefully taken to avoid serious problems.
