Panic disorder, also know as anxiety disorder, usually consists of brief episodes of intense fear and may occur with multiple physical symptoms. Sometimes they can happen repeatedly and unexpectedly in the absence of an external threat. These panic or anxiety attacks are believed to occur when the brain's normal mechanism for reacting to a threat is aroused.
Often with panic disorder people also feel anxious and worry about having another panic attack. They may avoid situations in which they think that an attack is likely to occur. Anxiety about another attack, and the avoidance it causes, can lead to disability in panic disorder.
In the United States, 1.6 percent of the adult population, or more than three million people, will have panic or anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. The disorder typically begins in young adulthood, but older people and children can also be affected.
Women are affected twice as often as men. While people of all races and social classes can have panic disorder, there appear to be cultural differences in how individual symptoms are expressed.

Brain and Mental Health
The information presented here has been created to help those interested in gaining an understanding of mental health conditions and illnesses. It is important that you discuss your research on specific drugs, alternative medicine and various aspects of nutrition with your physician.
Mental health is a state of successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, and the ability to adapt to change and to cope with adversity.
Mental health is indispensable to personal well-being, family and your relationships, as well as your contribution to community or society.
It is easy to overlook the value of mental health until problems surface. Mental health is the springboard of thinking and communication skills, learning, emotional growth and self-esteem. In this day and age, people are constantly reminded about success in school, in their job, in parenting, and in relationships without realizing that success often depends upon on living life in a positive state of mental health.
Mental illness is the term that refers collectively to all diagnosable mental disorders. Mental disorders are health conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior (or some combination thereof) associated with distress and/or impaired functioning.
Mental health and mental illness are dynamic, ever-changing phenomena. At any given moment, a person’s mental status reflects the sum total of that individual’s genetic inheritance and life experiences. The brain interacts with and responds both in its function and in its very structure to multiple influences continuously, across every stage of life. At different stages, variability in expression of mental health and mental illness can be very subtle or very pronounced.
A solid state of good mental health allows one to deal with unexpected events in life, while pursuing these goals. When mental disorders are not treated in a timely fashion, they may result in lost productivity, damaged relationships, and significant distress and dysfunction. Mental illness in adults can also have a long-term, possibly damaging result and effect on children in their care. If you or someone you know appears to be suffering from a mental illness, it is important that you take appropriate actions.

Kriya Yoga To Overcome Psychological And Mental Problems!
“Kriya yoga is a self-discipline, self study and attunement to the indwelling reality”.
Exercises and breathing techniques are intended to purify and hence cleanse the body’s energy channels.
Kriya Yoga mentally directs one’s life’s energy to revolve, upward, downward and around the six spinal centers which correspond to 12 astral signs of zodiac.
One half minute rotations of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of the man will affect subtle process in his evolution.
Kriya Yoga is derived from three other yoga techniques such as Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga and Jnana yoga.
Karma yoga – Focus on the movement of soul inside and out side of body. Karma means actions, all acts done by you from birth till death. Karma yoga shows the path for doing right things.
Bhakti yoga- Focuses on spreading love to other fellow beings. This yoga is based on the principle “God is love and love is God”. This yoga is regarded as the most direct method to merge in cosmic consciousness.
Jnana yoga- Focuses the mind on a task and allows the mind to be free. Knowledge of the right and insight into the proper means of realization are the two attribute to Jnana yoga. Jnana yoga is awareness to do or not to do.
Kriya yoga procedure involving body and soul:
The first and fore most action of the soul is to breath. The kriya yoga is based on breath, brain and spinal cord. Breathing is the mediator between soul and body. The brain is the mediator between sense organs and mind.
The physical actions you perform are reflected on your sense organs through the link of the lower part of the brain and the spinal cord.
From the lower part of brain, where the lower mind is situated, you pass your concentration into the higher mind then to the breath and lastly to the soul. This is how Kriya yoga is done.
By practicing kriya yoga, one can create an inner fire called “Tapa Agni”. The inner fire allows the practitioner to burn his karmas (past actions, negative thoughts and sins) which in result overcome psychological and mental problems.
Preparing the body: The person who practices other yoga techniques can start with Hatha yoga (as this improves flexibility of the body) and the starters can start by a 15 minute program to yield maximum results from this yoga.
Preparing mind: Your mind should be away from distractions and thoughts. Ensure your mind to be correct in a focused direction. Kriya promotes the study of metaphysical principles and cleanliness and purity of the mind.
Mudras: The mudras are added to kriya yoga to have control over the flow of energy in the body and the chakras.
Pranayama: Keep attention on the breath which goes inside and comes outside of the body. Kriya pranayama is done to increase the magnetization of the spine and direct life force to the brain with the effect to refine the brain and nervous system.
