Panic Attacks: What they are, why they happen and what you
can do about them
If you or someone you know has experienced a panic attack, you will have some understanding of the terror and miserable anxiety they cause. A panic attack may make you feel out of control – but it is something you can deal with, recover from, and even learn from.
Drawing on her own personal experience of panic attacks and those of others, Christine Ingham provides reassurance, insight and help for a positive way forward.
This new edition has been updated to include the latest research findings with new sections on the importance of diet, neurotransmitters, pH balance, new technology and techniques to help you conquer worry.
Lifestyle factors you can change, and a comprehensive range of treatment options are provided to help you better understand not only why panic attacks happen but what you can do about them.

“It was at the end of a long meeting with Thorson’s then Senior Editor, Jane Graham-Maw, where lots of ideas had been talked through (and thrown out) that Jane suddenly asked: ‘You don’t know anything about panic attacks, do you?’ I smiled. Not only did I know about them - I’d had one just that week. It was the first for quite some time after successfully managing to find a way of getting to grips with them. But I’d let things slip, overdone things again and found myself once more in the throes of another one.
Out of that meeting came Panic Attacks: What they are, why they happen and what you can do about them.
Panic Attacks struck an immediate chord with readers. Its accessible, positive style covering the essential facts about panic attacks continues to reassure and empower its readers. They recognise it is written with the authentic voice of experience by someone who has been there - and definitely done that.
On publication, radio stations up and down the country (as well as much further afield) were keen to have me talk to listeners about what, at the time, was a poorly understood problem.
Since its first publication Panic Attacks has remained in continuous print and regularly appears in Amazon’s best selling top 100 list in its categories.
As a result of the popularity of Panic Attacks it was chosen to be included in the inaugural list of Books on Prescription - a UK scheme set up and run by the Reading Agency and supported by NHS England. Bibliotherapy (book therapy) is used to help patients with specific health problems as an aid to their recovery. Books on the list are available from your public library."
Panic Attacks continues to bring understanding and reassurance to its readers and is now available in audio format.
