Stress at work and at home, tense atmosphere, age-related changes in men and women contribute to the fact that more and more people are prone to attacks of panic attacks. In the article we will talk about the symptoms of this disease and the treatment proposed by A. Krasikov.
What is a panic attack?
This is a sudden, unjustifiable deterioration in well-being, which is exacerbated by causeless fear, suffocation, panic. Doctors may call this condition dystonia, neurosis or cardioneurosis, but the essence of the unpleasant phenomenon does not change.
Panic attacks are sudden. A person who has once experienced this pathological condition will constantly be in fear of a second attack, which clearly does not contribute to the quality of life. Here are the main signs of a panic attack:
- sudden increase in heart rate and heartbeat;
- feeling of lack of air, shortness of breath;
- increased sweating;
- sudden fever or chills;
- a feeling of trembling in the limbs or throughout the body, tingling or cramp;
- depressing heavy thoughts, fear of sudden death or loss of mind;
- all-consuming panic, a state of "silent scream."
Many doctors believe that this pathological condition is not an independent disease, but a symptom. In this case, the treatment involves finding / eliminating possible problems of the body (hormonal imbalance, vascular pathology, diabetes) and stopping them. The syndrome itself undergoes medical treatment.
Dr. Alexei Krasikov sees the treatment of panic attacks in a completely different way. He believes that the destructive effect on the human body of these attacks can not only be minimized, but also completely removed with the help of psychotherapy.
Who is Aleksey Krasikov and what is the peculiarity of his treatment?
This doctor has been working at the neurosis clinic for a long time. He is a practicing psychotherapist. He has published many works in which the psychotherapist substantiates his theories. Trusting him and whether to follow his treatment option is a private matter for his patients. But while we make up our minds and doubt, many begin life without fear of panic attacks.
Alexei Krasikov in his video lectures promotes the theory that autonomic symptoms are not related to the environment, weather, nutrition, circumstances, they are consequences of internal emotions that a person experiences at the subconscious level. Being under the yoke of negative experiences, we unknowingly put ourselves at risk of becoming ill with various disorders, including panic attacks. He suggests fighting panic attacks not with pills, but with self-awareness. Finding that it bothers, gnaws, a person will find weapons against his ailment.
Reviews on the methods of Krasikov
Many doubt that Alexei Krasikov is a psychotherapist. The reviews are contradictory, it is difficult to immediately perceive his technique, in which he gives the opportunity to recover completely in the hands of the patient. We are used to the fact that the doctor will do everything for us, but this disease will not work out with this disease. Only work on oneself, the search for internal, psychological problems and latent stresses will lead to a positive result. And side effects, unfortunately, are with any treatment. The main thing is to realize that treatment is necessary, and in our power to get rid of fear and live a full-blooded life in which there is no place for panic attacks and fears.
