First of all, I am sorry because I know how awful a panic attack is and how frightening. If you find they are affecting your ability to function, you need to talk to someone. There are so many medications, often you only have to take them temporarily. There are breathing exercises and other techniques to learn how to deal with this, depending on how serious your panic attacks are. Keep with your running, good health and exercise are great coping skills. Again, I strongly advise you to seek help. You don’t have to suffer or be embarrassed. So many people suffer from panic attacks. They are very treatable. Hang in there. You will be ok…

No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….
