Really Sorry, don’t mean to be rude, but I’m impatient and cannot read such long posts, but panic attacks is a problem in the mind of the person, they are worrying about something which is non existent and not happened at all.
Mindfulness helps overcome the problem and Aarti should have been aware of it.
Panic attacks can be isolate or part of a generalized anxiety disorder which people are diagnosed with and some are prescribed medicines for. It is not something that someone can easily switch off from all of a sudden. It needs to be managed by a professional.
Thanks TM for writing this post. People in real life do go through it and for it to be questioned or mocked on SM and forums is something completely against what our society is slowly coming to terms with and accepting.
