A panic disorder is a mental health condition that causes people to suffer from panic attacks. Panic attacks trigger sudden feelings of extreme fear and danger even when no real risk exists.

Panic attacks are disturbing for those who suffer from them and cause worry about when they will return.

Panic Attack Symptoms

Panic attacks can come on quickly or with very little warning.  Symptoms may include:

  • Feeling out of control
  • Feelings of sudden and repetitive fear
  • Avoidance of places or situations that have triggered panic attacks in the past
  • Physical symptoms including tingling or numb hands, sweating, racing or pounding heart rate, chest pain, stomach pain and more

What Causes Panic Attacks?

No one is certain about what causes panic attacks, but they tend to run in families. Scientists believe that if we can better understand the brain's role in fear and anxiety, we may one day have a better understanding about panic attacks and develop more effective treatments.

Diagnosing Panic Disorder & Panic Attacks

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, even though panic attacks are one of the most treatable anxiety disorders, many people will spend years looking for the right diagnosis. Anxiety disorders can be coupled with other mental health conditions including depression or bipolar disorder , and some patients will self-medicate with drugs or alcohol.

For the most effective treatment of your panic attacks, don't wait until you are afraid to go out or find yourself avoiding certain situations that might trigger an attack.

Instead, see your healthcare provider and be honest with him or her about your feelings and symptoms. Your healthcare provider will need to do a thorough physical examinations and may also take blood to look for any physical triggers of your anxiety.

Panic Attack Treatment

Most people respond well to a blend of psychotherapy and medications to treat their panic disorder and panic attacks. The type of treatment that works best will vary from person to person. Your healthcare provider can guide your treatment options.
