Humans have an exclusive relationship with food. Food is where we derive our physical and mental energy. We eat food to refill our batteries with energy and to lift our moods. The taste of food greatly influences our mood. Everyone bears stress at several moments of life and in those sensitive moments people offer food to provide comfort. Repetitively eating comfort food builds a connection of the person through tough times. Moreover, food is concerned with weight and energy. A person may have sufficient level of energy to pass next few hours but the thought of skipping last meal convinces them that they are low at energy and they can’t move ahead or think straight because they need food. Similarly, weight gain and loss combined is a huge aspect of food consumption. Eat to put on weight and skip meals to lose weight. This is another psyche that convinces a person to starve or binge eat till it affects their otherwise health.

They can strike at any time — when you're driving a car, at the mall, sound asleep or in the middle of a business meeting. You may have occasional panic attacks, or they may occur frequently. Panic attacks have many variations, but symptoms usually peak within minutes. You may feel fatigued and worn out after a panic attack subsides. Panic attacks typically include some of these signs or symptoms: Sense of impending doom or danger Fear of loss of control or death Rapid, pounding heart rate Sweating Trembling or shaking Shortness of breath or tightness in your throat Chills Hot flashes Nausea Abdominal cramping Chest pain Headache Dizziness, lightheadedness or faintness Numbness or tingling sensation Feeling of unreality or detachmentSymptoms of panic disorderCauses of panic attacksA panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you're losing control, having a heart attack or even dying. Many people have just one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, and the problem goes away, perhaps when a stressful situation ends. But if you've had recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and spent long periods in constant fear of another attack, you may have a condition called panic disorder. Although panic attacks themselves aren't life-threatening, they can be frightening and significantly affect your quality of life. But treatment can be very effective.Complications of panic disorder
