Anxiety / panic attacks help !!

Sunlover77

Please help my 13 yr old son seems to be having panic attacks at school at home - anywhere really . It's been getting worse for the last 18 mths 

I've tried talking to him about it he says he's not worried about anything he doesn't understand what it or what he's really feeling.

He sometimes feels sick and it's put him off eating or drinking and will sometimes go all day without eating .

 I have no idea what's triggering it ! I dunno how to fix it for him . He gets really upset he loves school .

He says he gets hyperactive ( heart racing) 

the only way he seems to be able to deal with it is completely shutting down !

Any suggestions or help would've great as now he's missing school Surprised(

thanks x

  • Hi,

    I have a 12 yr old who has panic attacks, and such severe anxieties that he attempted suicide and became clinically depressed.  He has just started on SERTRALINE ( I had to see a private psychiatrist who specializes in ASD, Ocd, mood disroders and children)., as it was going to take 6monthe to see someone on the NHS.  Long story short.  My boy went back to school today, after one very very quick panic attack, that lasted 5 minutes as opposed to the one that meant he missed most of the first week after Christmas, as he was too anxious to go back.

    He is also having CBT alongside the tablets , to help him to be comfortable in his own skin.    I have over the last few days been treated to a lovely happy sunny boy.  I am not saying that this is the answer I am just saying that it helped for us.  I would definitely go to the Gp and ask to be referred to CAMHS and a psychiatrist.  Let us know how you get on
