Panic Attacks
Learn how our team of mental health professionals can help you manage, work through, and overcome the symptoms and underlying causes of panic attacks through medication management, counseling, and psychotherapy for the treatment of panic attacks.
Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort that can occur unexpectedly, often leaving you feeling overwhelmed and out of control. During a panic attack, you may experience a racing or pounding heartbeat, chest pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness, trembling, sweating, chills or hot flashes, nausea. You may have a sense of detachment, fear of losing control, or a sudden sense of impending doom. Some people describe it as feeling like they are having a heart attack or “going crazy.” These physical sensations are often accompanied by feelings of intense anxiety, which can make it difficult to focus or feel grounded in the moment.
While panic attacks themselves are not life-threatening, they can significantly impact your quality of life. Panic attacks can be frightening and may lead to fear of future attacks, avoidance of certain places or activities, or feelings of isolation. Many individuals may develop panic disorder, where the fear of experiencing another attack leads to persistent worry and avoidance of places or activities where attacks have previously occurred. This can create a cycle of anxiety that affects daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.
