What Causes Panic Attacks And Anxiety During Public Speaking And Seminars?

Hi, I have problems with anxiety with regards to public speaking and giving presentations. The problems are physical as I shake quite a lot, to the point where others notice and comment on it. It's becoming a problem as I am in university and my course requires me to give presentations on a regular basis. Is there anything that could be prescribed to me to treat my physical symptoms or is a doctor unlikely to do this?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I think you are refusing to learn from your experiences. You are pointing to your shaking while doing presentation after you experienced it. You must understand that you also experienced you standing there and delivering. that should build your confidence. The only remedy available is "do it again and again". Your anxiety should be eased.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
