Panic Disorder Treatment

Panic disorders can cause intense, unexpected episodes of fear that significantly impact daily life, but treatment can provide relief and restore confidence. Therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and medications can help manage symptoms, reduce the frequency of panic attacks, and address underlying triggers, enabling individuals to regain control and improve their quality of life.
