Info
Panic Disorder essentially is the fear of future panic attacks and the fear that there will be some terrible consequence of the panic attack. This fear is overwhelming and all consuming for the person suffering from Panic Disorder. The unpredictability and lack of obvious triggers for the panic attacks differentiates Panic Disorder from Panic Attacks.
A person with panic disorder may become discouraged and feel ashamed because he or she cannot carry out normal routines like going to school or work, going to the grocery store, or driving.
Panic disorder often begins in the late teens or early adulthood. More women than men have panic disorder.
Researchers have found that several parts of the brain, as well as biological processes, play a key role in fear and anxiety. Some researchers think that people with panic disorder misinterpret harmless bodily sensations as threats.
It is important to note that not everyone who experiences panic attacks will develop panic disorder.
Dealing with Panic Disorder and Panic Attacks requires treatment by medical professionals to help the person suffering to manage their episodes. For example cognitive behavioural therapy teaches patients to recognize the feelings that come with a panic attack and to alter the ways you think, behave and react to these feelings. There are also a variety of prescription mediations that may help people suffering from Panic Disorder.
