First‑Aid Tips for Anxiety Episodes

Tip 1:

Find a quiet spot and focus on slow, deep breaths in through the nose for four counts, out through the mouth for six.

Tip 2:

Ground yourself by naming five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.

Tip 3:

Sip water slowly to help calm your body.

Tip 4:

Practice gentle muscle relaxation, tighten and then release each muscle group, starting from your feet and moving upward.

Tip 5:

If possible, go for a brief walk in fresh air to shift your focus.

When to Consult a Doctor

See a doctor if you or your child consistently struggles with focus, restlessness, or impulsive behavior that disrupts school, work, or family life. Early evaluation by a neurologist or psychiatrist can confirm the diagnosis and start therapies such as behavioral support, counseling, or medication. Timely treatment helps improve performance, confidence, and quality of life.
