The second type of treatment focuses on addressing the cause of the anxiety or panic attack. In some cases, anxiety is the result of a particular situation or event that is occurring in the present moment. In other cases, the person is thinking about the possibility of a negative event or situation, and is beginning to feel nervous about what could happen. Whatever the case may be, tracing the root cause can determine if the person is feeling anxiety because of a reasonable cause, or if they just need to reframe their thinking to get a better manage on the situation.
