Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by “panic attacks”, which are feelings of intense anxiety and fear, that “snowball” into a state of panic.  These feelings are usually accompanied by physical symptoms such as sweating, heart palpitations, trembling, chest pain and tingling sensations.

Estimates indicate that around 6 million adults in the United States suffer from panic attacks, equivalent to nearly 2.7% of the adult population.  The disorder is nearly twice as prevalent in women as it is in men.

Panic attacks usually last between 5 and 10 minutes, but can last longer in extreme cases.  Some sufferers experience ongoing “rolling waves” of anxiety over the course of several hours, with varied levels of intensity and varying symptoms during that time.

In its most severe form, panic disorder sufferers can end up living in “fear of fear” – i.e. fearing the next unexpected attack itself.  This can result in significant behavioral changes, with corresponding bursts of anxiety known as “anticipatory attacks”.

Panic disorder is not the same as agoraphobia, but the two conditions are closely linked.  As many as one in three panic disorder sufferers go on to develop agoraphobia a consequence of repeated panic attacks.

How to stop panic attacks permanently

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is now acknowledged by medical science as one of the most effective remedies for anxiety and panic attacks.  It also avoids the need for potentially dangerous medications.

Unfortunately, attending individual sessions with a therapist can end up being prohibitively expensive.

Thankfully, there is an affordable, effective solution that teaches you to use CBT techniques to eliminate panic attacks for good.
