I don't think the amount of panick attacks can tell if there's a disorder or not. The fact that you are having panick attacks shows that there is something going on. Get to a specialist quick! But do the ice trick I've told you about to get you out of the attack. Grab onto ice cubes, sit on the floor to feel your sit spots(butt bones),preferably with your back against a wall, and squeeze those cubes as hard as you can. They will snap you right back into the present. Don't let go no matter how badly it burns until the attack is over. It will work for you with in minutes. :)
I think it depends more on how close the panic attacks were and how severe it was
You probably should ask a professional, but in my own experience, no! I had one really bad attack about 12 years ago and several small ones for 3 years after. Luckily I haven't had one for years after that though!
yes.
what do u meen?? idk!! im a little kid!!
sit there and suffer the panic attack
its called fight or flight syndrome
if you give in and get out of the situation that causes the panic attack,you are letting it win
if you stay put and see it through then the panic attacks fade or get less severe with time,you are training the mind dont go into auto pilot and let the mind train you
Speaking from personal experience, when I had my first panic attack (acute anxiety reaction), it was several years before I had another. Then a few more years before another occurred. I had no idea what was happening to me and it was a long time before I was able to find out what it was and how to treat the condition. My suggestion is that if you suspect you are having some sort of panic disorder, you should seek professional help. There is plenty of it out there and can even be available at no cost to you. God bless you!
No. You can get panic attacks at any time. It is when you start having panic attacks on a daily basis that it can become a disorder. Many people have panic attacks but when it begins to interfere with you life that it can become a disorder. If that is what is happening I would suggest to speak with your doctor or a local mental health professional. Its a very treatable disorder!

Visit church sometime, the United Pentecostal churches are great.
Becoming a "disorder" generally has to do with how it affects your everyday functioning. Meaning...how much are these attacks affecting your normal daily activities? If it's greatly affecting them than you should seek some treatment.
Diagnostically, there is no amount of attacks you need to have the "disorder". However, one big key is the constant concern and anxiety surrounding having another one. If you spend a lot of your time between attacks worrying when the next one will come, I would say you do have this disorder.
Not to fear though, easily helped. Therapy can help you cope with anxiety and talk yourself through attacks making them less severe. And medication is very successful with this condition. Good luck to you.
