Fear of Driving
Driving and panic attacks are a particularly uncomfortable combination. It’s frightening enough to have a panic attack when your standing still. Think of how much worse it would be to experience panic while driving with the added fear of crashing.
Some people have a fear of driving period. For others, the problem only comes up in specific situations like being in rush hour traffic.
Panic attack and driving are brings up a different issue. People, of course, experience panic attacks in all kinds of different circumstances – in the office, in a movie theater, at home alone… virtually anywhere. It’s not good to have a panic attack, but having one while driving is especially bad for a few reasons.
To begin, the person having a panic attack has the additional fear of having an accident.
Also, we live in a car-centered culture. If someone doesn’t drive, they’re a little out of it. Even if someone lives in a city with great public transportation, there are still occasions like vacations and family visits or trips with friends.
Most often, people who have panic attacks while driving only have them intermittently. But having even one panic attack while driving makes a person terrified that they’ll have another. As a result they drive less and less.
As a result, they are able to do less and less and their world becomes smaller.
Instead of avoiding driving, it makes more sense to treat the underlying problem, the panic disorder. When the panic attacks are treated, the problems with driving are automatically dealt with.
There are several ways to treat panic attacks.
Sometimes a program directed at panic in general is the best approach.
On the other hand, if a person has only has difficulties while driving, a program that focuses on that situation specifically may be more effective.
