causes of anxiety attacks
The difficulty in dealing with anxiety attacks is that it is not clear what causes it. There are many factors that are claimed to be causes of anxiety attacks. The major cause is obviously an imbalance of emotions. This in turn can be caused by depression, drug and alcohol abuse, illness or side effects of medications. Sometimes, it is caused by a combination of some or all of these factors.
While these factors trigger an attack, the condition is sometimes inherited. A person who is pre-disposed to have anxiety attacks because of inherited genes can go into panic for very minor reasons such as having a bad conversation with someone, or learning about an unpleasant occurrence. The threshold for being able to weather negative happenings is understandably low for people suffering from this condition.
