Panic Disorder<\/h5><\/div>

When referring to panic disorder, it is important to distinguish it from the usual low to moderate anxiety and fear, that most people experience under stressful situations.<\/p>\n

The main feature of panic disorder is sudden, recurrent anxiety attacks that occur over a long period of time (1 month or more). During this time the individual usually remains anxious and afraid of having another panic attack. <\/span><\/p>\n

thermore, the person feels that he\/she is suffering from some kind of heart disease while his\/her fear of losing his\/her mind is also intense. The changes observed in his\/her behavior due to the crises are also frequent (resigning from his\/her job, not attending classes, withdrawing from groups, etc). <\/span><\/p>\n

Panic attacks are usually sudden and last from 5-30 minutes and their frequency varies (daily, weekly, a few times a year).<\/span><\/p>\n

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is commonly used to treat panic disorder. CBT teaches you different ways of thinking, behaving and reacting to the emotions that occur during or before a panic attack. Attacks can become less frequent, less intense, last longer, and even stop once you learn to react differently to the physical sensations of anxiety and fear during a panic attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
