Panic attacks are more common than you think A panic attack A panic attack is a sudden episode of extreme fear and anxi- ety which is accompanied by a variety of physical symptoms. These may include: faintness, trembling or shaking, hot and cold flashes, feelings of unreality, sensations of choking or smother- ing, palpitations, chest pain or discomfort, and fear of fainting or dying. A panic attack is a most-fright- ening experience. It is not uncom- mon for a person having his or her first panic attack to mistake the symptoms for those of a heart attack. What is a phobia? A phobia is a "persistent and irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that results in a compelling desire to avoid the dreaded object, activity, or situa- tion". The fear is recognized by the individual as being excessive or unreasonable. Agoraphobia is the most com- mon and disabling phobia. Agoraphobia is a condition in which sufferers experience a mor- bid fear of anything and every- thing outside of their own home. People who experience panic attacks tend to gradually become agoraphobic. In their desire to avoid the frightening symptoms of an anxiety attack, they slowly start to avoid situations in which the panic attacks have occurred. Other phobias include extreme fear of social situations like going to a party or public speaking and" fear of specific objects or situa- tions such as animals, insects, fly- ing, heights, and others. Does every phobic suffer panic attacks? Not necessarily. In some cases the anxiety may be quite mild, but once a panic attack has been experienced, the phobic has a fear of another attack. This creates still further fear of the dreaded object, situation, or activity. The agoraphoic person may become more and more hesitant about leaving the house. However, some may leave their homes with certain limitations. Are there other symptoms? In addition to the physical symptoms described, a number of emotional symptoms may devel- op. These include: -feelings of inadequacy -depression -irrational fears which cannot be overcome What does this do to the pho- bic person? Because of the anxiety experi- enced the phobic tends to avoid the dreaded objects, situations or activities. The agoraphobic person may severely limit or totally give up such activities as shopping, driv- : 4 ing, eating in restaurants, visiting . friends, and going on vacation. Many agoraphobics may become prisoners in their own home in order to avoid situations which may trigger a panic attack. The avoidance behaviour can often have complicating conse- quences. Frequently the sufferer becomes convinced that he or she is going insane. Agoraphobia places severe strains on a marriage, particularly when the partner is unable to understand the feelings of the suf- ferer._ ~ Cy aceniaaneieierias ee Police Ontario Provincial Crime of the week #39- Sept. 28, 1987 Break, Enter and Theft- Wolf River During the summer of 1986, repairs were being made to the Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, September 30, 1987, page 7 TOWNSHIP OF SCHREIBER The Township of Schreiber, has for sale by tender, one 1970 Ford Truck, with holding tank mounted on same.
