What is Panic Disorder & Panic Attacks?
Panic Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort that peak within minutes. Panic attacks can occur in various situations and often include physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms.
Common symptoms include:
- Racing heartbeat, chest pain, or shortness of breath
- Dizziness, trembling, or sweating
- Feelings of unreality, detachment, or fear of losing control
- Intense fear of dying or catastrophic events
- Avoidance of situations that may trigger attacks
Without effective treatment, panic disorder can significantly affect daily functioning, social life, and overall quality of life.
Who struggles with Panic Disorder & Panic Attacks?
Panic disorder can affect adolescents, adults, and seniors. Individuals at higher risk include:
- Those with a family history of anxiety or panic disorder
- People experiencing chronic stress or trauma
- Individuals with co-occurring conditions such as depression, PTSD, or substance use
- Anyone struggling with recurrent panic attacks impacting work, relationships, or daily activities
Untreated panic disorder can lead to agoraphobia, social withdrawal, and chronic anxiety, making early intervention critical.
