Overview
Panic Disorder involves recurrent, unexpected panic attacks — sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. These attacks can be terrifying and lead to persistent worry about future attacks, causing avoidance of situations where they might occur. Effective treatment helps reduce attack frequency and restore confidence.
