Understanding Panic Disorder

Panic disorder affects approximately 6 million American adults and is highly treatable. Panic attacks involve sudden surges of intense fear with physical symptoms β€” racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness β€” that peak within minutes. CBT with interoceptive exposure is the most effective treatment, with SSRIs and benzodiazepines (short-term) as medication options. Most patients achieve significant improvement within 12–16 weeks of treatment.
