A panic attack is a surge of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger. In this episode of No Nonsense Psychiatry, we look at the "All-or-Nothing" response of the autonomic nervous system. We move past the fear to look at the clinical reality: your body is dumping a massive dose of adrenaline to prepare for a fight that isn't happening. We provide three actionable steps to identify the physical "peak" and how to ride the wave without fueling the fire.
