anxiety attacks can happen daily depending on the situation. 3 - 4 times a day maybe sometimes more.

In my experience, I think it is completely dependent on the person and the situation. There were times in my life where I had more than one a day or a couple a week, and there were times where I didn't have one for a couple months. So I think it just depends on what is going on in your life, or medicine, etc.

That very much depends on the person, and their anxiety. For some people, anxiety comes and goes every now and then, disappears for years on end. For other people, anxiety can strike multiple times a day. Know that you can get help through therapists both at 7 Cups or face to face as there are a range of evidence-based treatments for anxiety attacks that can help!

From my experience, depending on the circumstances they can range from hardly ever happening, to being set off quite easily and lasting days to weeks from even just one incident. Frequency, for me at least, tends to involve the amount and degree of certain kinds of stimuli being exposed to me (i.e. social drama with some friends can cause me great anxiety attacks, whereas if I am left to my own devices for a while, I may occasionally get a light bout of anxiety thinking about what others think of me after being apart for (relatively) long periods). It will vary from person to person, I imagine, but I think that while anxiety attacks can strike at any moment, they are usually brought on by something in the environment or a reaction to dwelling too long on our own insecurities.

This answer varies depending on the person, their needs, and their health. If nothing in particular is causing it, they could happen at any moment

This will definitely vary from person to person. Not only do they occur more or less frequently for some people than others, but attacks can be shorter or longer in length. I’ve had experiences where my entire work day was an eight hour anxiety attack because the environment was so toxic. I know this isn’t a very specific answer, but, truly, it simply varies from person to person.

The frequency of anxiety and panic attacks completely vary from person to person, mostly depending on their emotional tolerance to stress and pressure. A person's emotional tolerance may go up when they're in a happier, self-confident state, and may go down when they're in a depressed, self-loathing state.

Anxiety attacks usually occur suddenly and without warning. Sometimes there’s an obvious trigger, but in other cases, the attacks come out of the blue. The frequency varies from person to person. If your anxiety is only related to one specific trigger, then the frequency will depend on exposure to that trigger. If your anxiety attacks come out of the blue, the frequency will vary. Often we keep ourselves tense thinking and worrying about when the next anxiety attack will happen. This does have the adverse effect of making the anxiety attacks more frequent. Anxiety attacks usually peak within 10 minutes, and they rarely last more than 30 minutes. The better you learn to deal with your anxiety attacks, the less frequent they will become :)

I don't think there is an average or usual number. Every person is different and everyday is different as well. In stressful days, the frequency of anxiety attacks can increased...and then they can disappear for a while.

That depends on the person. Sometimes people get them once every hour, others get them once in 5 years. It's depends in the person.
