It really depends on the person and the context, but sometimes they can happen spontaneously without a specific trigger to make these attacks happen.

Panic attacks can happen anywhere at anytime. However, Most attacks take within 10 mins to reach its maximum. But they don last more than an hour, majority only last 20-30 mins.

It depends on the person and if they have triggers they can happen several times a day or some days none at all.

Depends on who you are and how well you’ve learned to cope with them. Some people it could be several times a week or even year, others could be several times a day it really just depends on the person and situation.

There isnt really a usual amount as each individual person can be more or less sensitive to anxiety and even just in one person they can go through different periods of their life getting more anxiety than usual. The point to remember is anxiety exists in us because our ancestors used it to stay alive from all the dangers normally found in the wild. Today we are not living in the wild but instead safe indoors in a society with rules and laws to protect us. Times have changed so much that our bodies and minds cant keep up and evolve fast enough causing a lot of the anxiety issues we have today, anxiety is a problem because we dont need it as much as our ancestors did but we cant just suddenly evolve it out of our species. The truth is that even when anxiety is a issue to deal with when you just want to live a normal relaxing life, its still a part that is just trying to keep us safe. Its uncomfortable and annoying but its not there to hurt us, so no amount of anxiety is too much. Just focus on learning and educating yourself about anxiety, how it works and how various people have managed to stop it being a issue for them. While there is many great people to help you and vast amounts of information about getting better your a individual and have to find the exact route for you to get better.

My anxiety attacks would occur at least once every 3 days. I have recently been working through my past traumas, and learning to recognize activating/triggering situations. By doing this, I take back my power from my past traumas and 9/10 i avoid the anxiety attack. So in short, I have only experienced 1 anxiety attack in the past month because when the activating situation occurs, I remind myself I am safe, I focus on the things I can see, I can smell, I can hear, and this helps bring me back into my window of tolerance. These techniques seem so simple, but they have been sooo effective for me.

I'm sorry you're going through having anxiety attacks. As someone who also deals with this I know how hard it can be and can relate to having had concerns about what is normal for my situation. Just know that you will get through this and with therapy this does get better. Whatever frequency you're experiencing anxiety attacks at is the normal amount for you in your situation. Many people don't get them at all while many other people get them frequently. There isn't a standard amount that's considered normal. Something I've found that worked for me is learning to focus on each of my senses during the anxiety attack and in my head list five things for each sense that I was experiencing in the environment. For example: sight - red pen, notebook, coffee cup, speakers, fern; sound - cars in the distance, keyboard typing, a dog bark, air conditioning; etc. I wish you luck on your journey and know you'll get where you're trying to go.

Anxiety attacks are really difficult to manage in every day life because they can completely disrupt an entire day and leave you completely exhausted afterwards. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to how frequent they are usually because it entirely depends on the person who is having them; some people have known triggers for their anxiety attacks and can limit their own surroundings to prevent exposure to those triggers, while others can have anxiety attacks for seemingly no reason. For a person who has their own anxiety well-managed, attacks shouldn't be so frequent as to wholly disrupt everyday life, and I would strongly encourage anyone who is feeling held back by their anxiety attacks to seek some professional help with finding their own triggers and managing those attacks.

Well, it all depends upon the person. For someone who has social anxiety, they may be very frequent, as you feel like everyone's watching you in public. You start shaking and it's just not a pleasant experience. Some health conditions may also cause anxiety attacks. Illegal substances like drugs and alcohol may trigger these attacks. A few medicines are also known to cause anxiety attacks. Some people have anxiety attacks that are started by the fear of having a future anxiety attack. So, yeah. It just varies from person to person. There isn't really an answer that is on point to this question. Some may experience anxiety attacks several times a day, while some may have them a couple times a week.
