I meet lots of people both through my work and elsewhere who have suffered or do suffer with panic attacks. They can be very frightening to experience and also to witness. People who suffer with panic attacks have often researched ways of helping themselves through them. However, when faced with someone who is having a panic attack, how many of us would know what to do? The MIND website gives clear, helpful advice on what to do and what not to do. Maybe if we educate ourselves, we won’t be panicked by panic attacks, but can offer support instead.
