Are these TikTok viral panic attack hacks actually making your anxiety worse? In this video, I break down those trending "instant panic relief" techniques involving sour candies, lemons, and salt packets that are getting millions of views.

As someone who's battled panic disorder for years, I explain why these quick fixes might work temporarily but could be sabotaging your long-term recovery.

I'll share insights from clinical psychologist Dr. Rita Santos about why these "safety behaviors" can actually reinforce anxiety, explain what's happening in your nervous system during panic attacks, and reveal the counterintuitive approach that finally helped me overcome panic disorder.

If you're tired of quick fixes that don't last, this video offers evidence-based perspectives on breaking the panic cycle for good.
