What is Panic 
A panic attAactk tisa anc iknte?nse bout of 
worry or anxiety that normally lasts 
only a few minutes but can be quite 
distressing. Physical, emotional, and 
cognitive symptoms such as a racing 
heart, chest pain, fear of losing control, 
and racing thoughts can occur during a 
panic attack. Panic episodes can be 
precipitated by specific circumstances 
or come suddenly. A single panic attack 
may not always indicate the presence 
of a panic disorder. Those who are 
experiencing panic attacks or feel they 
have panic disorder should get care 
from a mental health expert.

episodes with your health care physician. They can assess 
your symptoms, make a diagnosis, and recommend you to 
local mental health doctors.
Consider the following therapeutic approaches: Cognitive-
behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and 
mindfulness-based therapies are some of the therapy 
approaches that can be beneficial in treating panic episodes. 
Investigate these ways to see whether one resonates with 
you, or speak with possible therapists about your 
possibilities.

not convenient or available to you. Many therapists now offer 
secure video conferencing services for virtual sessions, which 
can be equally as beneficial as in-person treatment.
Some of the most frequent therapies used to 
treat panic attacks
Exposure Therapy: This type of therapy involves gradually 
exposing people to circumstances or triggers that cause panic 
episodes. Individuals learn to confront their concerns and 
realise that panic attacks are not life-threatening through 
frequent exposure. This procedure aids in the reduction of the 
fear reaction associated with panic.
Deep breathing, progressive muscular relaxation, and 
mindfulness meditation are some relaxation techniques that 
therapists may teach. These approaches can help people cope 
with stress, reduce anxiety, and avoid panic attacks.
Medication Management: Medication may be recommended with 
treatment in some circumstances to assist manage panic 
episodes. To minimise the frequency and intensity of panic 
attacks, antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs are widely 
utilised. A psychiatrist or other healthcare professional can 
assess the necessity for medication. 
While panic episodes are rarely life-
threatening, they should not be 
neglected for various reasons:
Physical signs of panic attacks include chest pain, 
shortness of breath, dizziness, and a rapid heartbeat. 
Emotional well-being: Panic episodes can be 
exceedingly upsetting and disruptive to a person's 
emotional well-being.
Impaired everyday functioning: Panic episodes can 
impair an individual's ability to carry out regular 
activities such as work, school, and social 
engagements.
Untreated panic episodes might raise the chance of 
developing other mental health issues such as 
depression or substance abuse.
