How can a teenager deal with anxiety attacks?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am sixteen and want to do a lot in life, but I have anxiety attacks. I do not feel comfortable in my skin, and I cry every hour of the day. I cannot take that anxiety demon out of my head, and I have become a problem for people around me. No one in my surroundings believes I am depressed. They think of me as a joke. I am unsure what to do and cannot handle this any more. I am helpless, feeling down, and cannot do anything anymore. Please help me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query thoroughly and completely understand your concern.
There is a solution to every issue, so do not worry. You should attempt to solve it, and help is just a step away. Consult a psychiatrist in person for a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment. Additionally, everyday relaxation exercises like breathing exercises might help you unwind and reduce your worry. If it is not possible, maintain a log book and daily log down your thoughts uncensored and never read them again. Share your feelings with your family and close friends because sharing helps a lot.
I hope that answers your question.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
