Frequently Asked Questions
Panic disorder is diagnosed by a mental health professional who will ask about your symptoms, how often you experience panic attacks, and how these episodes affect your daily life. The diagnosis usually involves ruling out other medical conditions that could cause similar symptoms and checking if you meet criteria for panic disorder, such as having repeated, unexpected panic attacks and ongoing worry about having more.
Symptoms include sudden and repeated panic attacks—intense episodes of fear or discomfort that come on quickly and often without warning. During an attack, you might experience a racing heart, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, chills, nausea, numbness, or a sense of losing control.
A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear or discomfort that peaks within minutes. Panic disorder is when you have frequent, unexpected panic attacks and worry about having more, which can lead to avoiding certain situations or places
The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but factors may include genetics, brain chemistry, major stress, and environmental influences. Having a family history of panic or anxiety, experiencing ongoing stress, or certain changes in brain function may increase your risk
Panic attacks can feel overwhelming and frightening, but they are not dangerous or life-threatening. They usually pass within a few minutes, even if it feels much longer in the moment.
