What can i do about paranoia and panick attacks?

See your Doctor: Paranoia is often confused with panic attacks and there is a strong correlation between the two. For example, paranoia is defined as a persecutory delusion or false belief. The stronger the belief, the greater the physical manifestations of anxiety or panic. This is often in the form of heart palpitations, increased nervousness, excessive worry, sweating, and feeling of fear.

Psych Exposure: In most cases where anxiety is not stemming from trauma, the best way in which to overcome mild to moderate symptoms is to gradually expose yourself to the things you fear, using relaxation techniques to help you cope. This is something that can often be easily resolved with the help and direction of a counselor trained in treating anxiety.
