Panic Disorder

A Guide to Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent panic attacks accompanied by intense fear or discomfort. Symptoms may include:

• Sudden and overwhelming feelings of fear or impending doom.
• Physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath.
• Avoidance of situations or places due to fear of panic attacks.

Our diagnosis process involves detailed assessments of panic attack frequency, triggers, and symptoms. Treatment options may include:

• Pharmacotherapy: Prescription of appropriate medications based on psychiatric evaluation and laboratory tests.
• Collaborative Care: Coordination with a multidisciplinary team for comprehensive treatment and support.

Post-treatment, patients may experience:

• Reduced frequency and intensity of panic attacks.
• Improved ability to manage anxiety and triggers.
• Increased confidence and sense of control.

Closure and Future Plans: Therapy sessions may focus on closure, reviewing progress, and discussing strategies for maintaining stability and managing stressors in the future.
