Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder, characterized by sudden, unexpected and repeated episodes of an intense sense of fear, particularly in a situation when there is no real danger. This sense of fear may be accompanied by physical symptoms including heart palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, and/or abdominal distress. Panic attacks may bother you anytime, anywhere, and without warning. The worst thing is that the previous attacks lead to a persistent fear that another one may come anytime. This, in turn, may make an individual avoid places, things or triggers causing an attack. The major goal of its treatment is to alleviate the frequency and severity of panic attacks. Experts recommend a customized combination of psychotherapy and medicines to recover from panic disorder. However, the line of treatment and the outcome depends on the severity and duration of symptoms.
