Panic Disorder

pexels-karolina-grabowska-4379964.jpg

A panic attack is a sudden surge of intense fear or discomfort that can occur within minutes and involves a variety of distressing physical symptoms and sensations. For most folks panic attacks are not a direct result of a clear danger or threat and therefore these tend to be unpredictable, which in turn causes heightened anxiety and distress. When panic attacks are recurrent, individuals develop a fear and apprehension to the experience of the panic attack taking place and this is often how panic disorder develops. Most people therefore experience hyper-vigilance and over-concern and also engage in certain behaviors to try to prevent the attacks from occurring.

​

Some symptoms associated with panic attacks include:

· Rapid heart beat or palpitations

- Chest pain or tightness

- Sensations of shortness of breath

- Numbness or tingling sensations

- Shakiness

- Dry mouth

· Sweating

· Feelings of choking

- Dizziness or feeling faint

- Blurry vision

· Nausea

· Feeling very cold or very hot

· Feelings of unreality (derealization) or feeling detached from the self (depersonalization)

​
