Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder

Panic attacks are sudden, intense episodes of fear that can feel overwhelming and frightening, often with physical symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness. While they may seem like serious medical issues, they are typically linked to anxiety. With compassionate therapy, you can learn to understand triggers, manage symptoms, and develop effective coping …

Panic attacks are brief episodes of extreme fear. They may be mistaken for heart attacks or strokes, but are actually psychological rather than physical. Panic attacks can occur suddenly and usually peak within ten minutes. Most panic attacks end within 20 to 30 minutes.

Some symptoms include:

  • Chills
  • Nausea
  • Sweating
  • Chest pain
  • Palpitations
  • Shaking
  • Feelings of suffocation

Sometimes panic attacks are isolated incidents, but if a person has had at least two panic attacks and lives in fear of having another, they may have panic disorder. A panic attack can happen without an obvious cause, but people with panic disorder may develop phobias related to something they associate with panic attacks, including open spaces, and large crowds.

Panic disorder is classified as an anxiety disorder, and like other forms of anxiety, it is commonly treated with a combination of therapy, medications, and healthy lifestyle changes. Working with a Panic disorder treatment therapist, patients are also encouraged to practice breathing exercises, get regular exercise, and avoid stimulants.
