Panic Disorder Treatment

Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and persistent fear of having another. This fear can become debilitating, leading to avoidance behaviors. A board-certified psychiatrist can differentiate panic disorder from other conditions.

Panic attacks typically peak within minutes and include intense physical symptoms.

• Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
• Chest pain or tightness
• Difficulty breathing or choking sensation
• Dizziness or feeling faint
• Hot flashes, chills, or sweating
• Trembling or shaking
• Nausea or stomach distress
• Numbness or tingling
• Feeling of unreality or detachment
• Intense fear of losing control or dying
