Panic and anxiety attacks have a biological role in each and every one of us. Most people can suppress this role to the point where there are no issues; however, some people continue to express this biological role in the form of an attack. To understand the biological role you have to understand the conditions in which humans lives under going back hundreds and hundreds of years.
Humans evolved with the commonly called the “fight or flight” ability. Fight or flight is the ability of the body to focus a rapid increase of adrenalin to either fighting an enemy for survival, or to outrun a dangerous situation. The task of fighting or running effectively worked off the adrenalin and help the person live another day.
In today’s world, we all still have the fight or flight ability inside us. However, not too many of us are faced with life and death situations each day where we can use it effectively. Instead, our biggest fears are now perhaps public speaking, or a final exam, as opposed to fighting in a war or running from something that is trying to hurt you.
In short, we are still experiencing the adrenaline rush, but now we have to sit quietly while it is happening to us. Theirs is no running or fighting, yet the same levels of adrenaline could be hitting our systems. Most people can handle the adrenaline with some simple nervousness as a side effect; however, some people go into a full-blown anxiety attack.
