Panic Disorders

Panic disorder is characterized by sudden and repeated attacks of intense fear that last several minutes, typically caused by anxiety. Common symptoms include racing heart, difficulty breathing, sweating, and a deep sense of dread. Affecting approximately 2.4 million adults, it arises mostly in young adulthood. Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms and ruling out other conditions, often leading to cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication as effective treatment options. Despite its prevalence, panic disorder frequently goes untreated, especially among undisciplined youth.
