https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=crWRCyMUXDw<\/div>Brett asks \u201cis there a difference between panic attacks and anxiety attacks?\u201d Hi, I\u2019m Michael Norman and welcome to another episode of \u201cPanic Free TV\u201d Q&A. This is where as a scientist and anxiety specialist, I answer your most pressing questions relating to panic attacks \u2014 so that we can help you finally get back to normal, panic-free life again. Now words are just agreed-on labels for certain experiences, and because of this\u2026 different people choose to label things in different ways.00:00:28<\/a> Some people use the phrase \u201canxiety attack\u201d to refer to a less intense panic attack. Some people use it to refer to a more \u201ccognitive\u201d panic attack, one were there are less body sensations and mainly just fearful thoughts. Most people, though, tend to use the two phrases interchangeably, to mean exactly the same thing.00:00:45<\/a> Now I\u2019m passionate about accuracy and I\u2019m passionate about good science \u2014 and scientifically, panic and anxiety are actually distinct phenomena.00:00:51<\/a> And while there are a lot of commonalities between the two, and while it\u2019s often hard to separate them\u2026 in reality panic and anxiety involve different brain circuitries, different hormonal profiles, and different biologies.00:01:04<\/a> For example\u2026 A panic attack is a literal adrenaline rush, with very little, if ANY, of the famous stress hormone cortisol.00:01:11<\/a> Cortisol, though, is predominant in anxiety. Psychologically\u2026 panic is a fear response that relates to specific perceived IMMINENT threats.00:01:20<\/a> Anxiety on the other hand is best described more as worry than fear\u2026 and it\u2019s related to what we perceive as being more distant, more uncertain and often more abstract threats. So while most people use the words anxiety and panic to meaning similar things\u2026 from a scientific point of view\u2026 again, they\u2019re actually distinct phenomena. And having this understanding, I hope you can appreciate why I would never use the term \u201canxiety attack\u201d. People might feel anxious about having a panic attack\u2026 and their anxiety might lead to a panic attack\u2026 but the word \u201cattack\u201d implies a fast, dramatic, intense response\u2026 and scientifically that\u2019s a fear or panic response, not anxiety.00:01:55<\/a> So why is ANY of this important? And how does this directly relate to you having a more care-free, panic-free life? Well, if you suffer from anxiety or panic\u2026 since they\u2019re related but distinct phenomena\u2026 we need to give you the best tools to help you with both.00:02:10<\/a> Now, if you\u2019d like my best free help ending both your panic attacks and anxiety that surrounds them\u2026 then you\u2019ll want to watch my free \u201cPanic Free TV\u201d Foundation Series.00:02:19<\/a> It\u2019s simple science-based help for panic attacks that will show you the fastest way\u2026 to go from wherever you are right now\u2026 back to a life that\u2019s as normal, care-free, and panic-free, as anyone else you know.
