Have you ever wondered if what you're experiencing is anxiety or a panic attack? At Revive Mental Wellness, we often hear this question from our patients, and today, we're here to help you understand the key differences between these two commonly confused conditions.
Understanding Panic Disorder vs. Anxiety Disorder: A Personal Guide from Your Mental Health Partners
The Anxiety Experience: More Than Just Worry
Imagine standing at the edge of a pool, feeling the water gradually rising around your feet. That's often how our patients describe anxiety - a gradual build-up of worry and tension that persists over time. As a mental health provider serving the Treasure Valley community since 2013, we've helped countless individuals recognize and manage their anxiety symptoms:
Persistent worry about daily situations
Difficulty concentrating on tasks
Muscle tension and physical discomfort
Sleep disruptions
Constant feeling of being "on edge"
The Panic Experience: When Fear Strikes Suddenly
In contrast, panic attacks are more like being suddenly submerged in cold water - intense, immediate, and overwhelming. Our patients at Revive Mental Wellness often describe panic attacks as:
Sudden episodes of intense fear
Heart palpitations or chest pain
Feeling of choking or difficulty breathing
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fear of losing control or dying
