Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Panic Attacks

Hi, randomly one time it got hrd for me to breathe and it happened 3 times that day. Also, when i was all worked up, someone told me it was my turn to go on stage, and i couldnt breathe and was breathing heavy. This happened 2 other times, one over a test, and one over the idea of mentoring. This i not a problem of being old because i am 13 almost 14 years old. The most recent breakdown i had, before that i had such bad worry and it was terrible how badly i was worrying and when i tried to talk about it, i had a breakdown . the idea of me feeling weak and hopeless makes me have a weird feeling. Im not depressed though, im a happy person, im just worried a lot, mostly over things ive done before.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for your query.

I understand that you are quite distressed because of your anxiety problems. From the description of your symptoms it appears that you are suffering from a Anxiety Disorder with Panic attacks.

The symptoms that you have described such as breathing difficulty, heavy breathing (or hyperventillation) and the other weird feeling that you are experiencing are also anxiety-related. So, don't worry.

Since these problems are worrying you so much, I would advise you to seek professional help. You can ask your parents or your school counsellor to fix an appointment with a psychiatrist and go for a consultation. Effective treatment is available with medication and psychological therapy which can help you overcome your anxiety problems.

Regards,
