Panic Disorders

Panic disorder is a mental health condition marked by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks. A panic attack is an intense wave of fear or discomfort that peaks within minutes and can include symptoms such as rapid heart rate, sweating, shaking, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

Some people may feel dizzy, detached from reality, or as if they are losing control. The severity of these attacks can lead individuals to avoid situations where an attack might occur, which can increase distress and isolation.

Triggers for panic attacks are often unpredictable, leaving many individuals in constant fear of the next episode. This condition can interfere with daily life, work, relationships, and overall well-being. Avoidance behaviors, such as staying home from work or avoiding social situations, can develop over time.

Seeking help for panic disorder is important if you experience sudden and intense panic attacks, feel overwhelmed by fear, or avoid situations due to the possibility of an attack. Untreated panic disorder can worsen and contribute to anxiety, depression, or agoraphobia.
