What are Panic Attacks and Panic Disorders?
Panic attacks are intense episodes of sudden fear or discomfort, accompanied by physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, and dizziness. A panic disorder is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and a persistent fear of having more attacks.
Prevalence of Panic Disorders:
Panic disorder is relatively common, affecting millions of people worldwide. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, about 2-3% of adults experience a panic disorder in a given year. Women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with a panic disorder.
Treatment Options for Panic Attacks and Panic Disorders:
Effective treatment for panic attacks and panic disorder includes therapy and, in some cases, medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help individuals learn to manage panic symptoms and challenge irrational thoughts. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications may be prescribed to reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks.
