How can i help someone with an anxiety attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soothing: If it's their very first episode, help them get to medical attention. If not, help them get to a quiet area away from the stimulus. Help them get control of their breathing; taking slow deep breaths will often help. Don't dismiss their fears by saying "it's all in your head." some people are calmed just by being with another person, even if that person doesn't do anything in particular.
