Jemma Kidd - makeup artist, columnist and sister to supermodel Jodie Kidd – spoke out this week about her extended battle with anxiety and panic attacks. Her attacks were seemingly random and uncontrollable, and she suffered in silence before finally gaining control over her disorder by learning how to reprogramme the ways her mind responded to certain situations. Anxiety disorder affects 1 in 20 adults in Britain, so if you’re feeling the pressure, we’ve got a few tips to lend a helping hand.

• Talking about it is key, so check out our counselling pages to find an ear near you

• Overall health can do wonders improving your state of mind, so look into developing a fitness routine or speaking to a nutritionist about how to get the most out of your diet

• Alternative therapies are becoming more and more popular, especially with matters of the mind, and we’ve got a whole host of treatments to get you back in balance. See if a massage or yoga course can help calm you down

• In the midst of an attack, diverting the mind’s attention is often crucial to dealing with the anxiety so take a trawl through our daily deals, read a few of our wellness articles or see if you can help someone else on our Q&A pages

• Chances are you deserve some serious time out (who doesn’t?), so take advantage of our spa packages to get a few days devoted to relaxation
