Understanding Panic and Anxiety
The distinction between panic and anxiety is nuanced, with both involving similar neurological responses. Panic attacks often manifest suddenly, resembling a crisis mode response, while anxiety tends to be a prolonged, low-grade state. Neuroscientific frameworks classify experiences along a continuum from calmness, or the 'green light' zone, to severe panic, the 'red light' zone. This understanding emphasizes that recognizing one's own emotional state is crucial for determining appropriate interventions.
