I have panic attacks due to emotional distress and anxiety. I usually have panic attacks when I go into public places. I know what panic attacks are like because I have them but medication isnt always the best answer especially anti-depresents. The reason is your a teenage like me and teenagers, due to their hormones and emotional inbalances can become extremely suicidal or have an increase in suicidal thoughts and behavors. Also the side effects really suck depending on the medication. !_! !!!
