Ira Khan, superstar Aamir Khan’s daughter, has always been open about her life. This involves sharing glimpses of her relationship, victories and struggles on social media. On several occasions, Ira Khan has opened up about her mental health battles with her followers on Instagram.
Late on Saturday, Ira Khan shared a mirror selfie and spoke about her recent anxiety attacks. Explaining further in the caption, she said, “I’ve started getting anxiety attacks. I’ve had anxiety. And I used to get overwhelmed. And have crying fits. But I’ve never had anxiety attacks before. It’s the difference between panic and panic attacks. Anxiety versus anxiety attacks.”
Sharing more details, Ira Khan continued, “As far as I understand it (anxiety attacks), they have physiological symptoms. Palpitations, breathlessness. Plus crying. And it builds. Slowly. Feels like impending doom. This is what mine feels like. I do not know what a panic attack is like. It’s a really crappy feeling. My therapist said if it’s become regular (context, I had 1 or 2 over 2 months versus almost every day now), I needed to tell my doctor/psychiatrist.”
