Alien: Human Adam, where is Human Jessica?

Human: Oh, she's in the infirmary. She had a panic attack.

Alien: What is a... panic attack?

Human: It's basically when your mind and body randomly release unnecessary amounts of adrenaline and you go into fight or flight mode.

Alien: What is "fight or flight"?

Human: It's a survival mechanism that causes your brain to quickly decide if you want to fight back against danger or run.

Alien: And you said this is random?

Human: Yeah, it can be pretty debilitating.

Alien: Well, what happens?

Human: Well, it depends. Some people cry uncontrollably, some become completely mute, but most of the time panic attacks come with intense hyperventilating. 

Alien: And that happened to Human Jessica?

Human: Yeah, she'll be better in about half an hour. She just needed to get away from the crowd.

Alien: Oh my goodness, but that is awful.

Human: Yeah, it happens. But we have different strategies to deal with it like deep breathing.

Alien: *runs to infirmary* HUMAN JESSICA, I HAVE RESEARCHED DEEP BREATHING AND IT WILL CURE YOUR PANIC ATTACKS!
