Then my anxiety attacks, previously well managed, snuck up on me again.

True, many of the so-called experts on TikTok are not licensed mental health professionals.

It’s worth noting that many of these content creators proclaim themselves to be professional mental health experts, even if they don’t hold any advanced degrees or haven’t undergone specialized training.

Be wary of these “coaches,” “gurus,” or “docs.” Panic attacks often mimic symptoms of other life-threatening health conditions like heart attacks, and it is always better to get checked out by a real doctor and be told you have anxiety than to self-misdiagnose a cardiac condition.

If you are experiencing severe mental health distress and have thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself or others, seek help immediately by calling 911 or a Suicide Prevention Hotline.

“Putting ice, frozen food, or something cold can help stop or prevent panic attacks.

Another therapist explains the nervous system’s response to cold: It, ”restricts blood vessels, and activates the vagus nerve,” says Christina P.

Other “ice therapy” methods like ice baths or cold showers have been making the viral rounds, and there is in fact clinical and anecdotal evidence that they can help people with anxiety and panic attacks.

Keep in mind that, “it is important to know that although [ice] is a tool, it does not replace therapy to address the underlying concern of why the panic attacks are occurring in the first place,” Kantazavelos says.
