They can occur at random or after a person is exposed to various events that may trigger a panic attack. They peak in intensity very rapidly and go away with or without medical help. As with most behavioural illnesses, the causes of panic attacks are many. Certainly there is evidence that the tendency to have panic attacks can sometimes be inherited. However, there is also evidence that panic may be a learned response and that the attacks can be initiated in otherwise healthy people simply given the right set of circumstances. Research into the causes of panic attacks is ongoing.

These are examples of "normal" anxiety which we have all experienced during our lives and which represent relatively small problems. However, for people who suffer from Anxiety Disorders these "small" problems get blown up out of all proportion and can dramatically affect their lives. The good news is that sufferers can and do get better but it takes a lot of help and support along the way and that is where No Panic comes in.
