Understanding Panic Disorder
In this post, we’ll explore various treatment options for panic disorder, how to recognize the symptoms, and how mental health professionals at Newhope can assist those suffering from panic attacks.
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder that involves repeated panic attacks. While occasional panic attacks can happen to anyone, people with panic disorder experience them more frequently, often without any obvious triggers. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) defines panic disorder as having recurrent, unexpected panic attacks along with ongoing concerns about future attacks or their consequences.
For those with panic disorder, the fear overwhelms the mind and body, creating a sense of intense fear, even in the absence of danger. It's not uncommon for individuals to experience more panic attacks once they've had one, which may lead them to avoid certain places or situations.

You don't have to face panic attacks alone — compassionate, evidence-based care can help you regain stability and hope.
