What Is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder marked by repeated and unexpected panic attacks—intense surges of fear that often feel like a heart attack or medical emergency. These episodes can occur without a clear cause and may lead to persistent worry about when the next attack might strike.
Common symptoms of panic attacks include
Rapid heartbeat or
chest pain
Hot flashes or
chills
Shortness of breath or
choking
Feeling detached or fear of dying
Dizziness or
lightheadedness
Avoiding places that may trigger attacks
Left untreated, panic disorder can significantly impact your ability to work, drive, travel, or maintain relationships. Fortunately, with the right therapeutic approach, it is highly treatable.
