PTSD Workbook

Panic disorders are the quiet periods between panic attacks, and they can be more harmful than panic attacks as they can severely affect the life and functioning of the victim.The fact that they are so intrusive and they seem to camp out in our head can cause us even more distress; some to the point where they interfere with our regular routines and activities causing us to feel ashamed, guilty, or afraid. Anyone suffering from an anxiety disorder like OCD or PTSD can quickly relate to the kind of damage an intrusive thought like these can do.

Emotionally, panic disorder can take a toll on the mental health of the victim as it keeps the mind full of fearful thoughts and anxieties. Finding a diversion can get difficult in such a condition. The victims are unable to push the fear of an attack from their mind, and they are always in fear of an impending attack. These thoughts are always unpleasant and can even make you feel repulsed. They can include acts of violence, inappropriate sexual acts, or extreme criminal behavior. Addressing these feelings would be a good way to start getting rid of them.
