"TikTok's Viral Hack for Panic Attacks Takes a Surprising Turn"
A TikTok video suggesting eating a sour candy like a Warhead to combat panic attacks has gone viral, with some experts agreeing that the trick could be beneficial. The science behind it is that the brain can only focus on one emergency at a time, so the intense flavor of the candy distracts it from the panic attack. Other grounding techniques like spicy foods, yoga, deep breathing, or holding an ice cube can also help. However, it's important to vary the distractions used and not rely solely on candy, as it is a temporary fix and not a substitute for therapy or medication.
