Panic Attack

A panic attack, also known as an anxiety attack, is the sudden onset of intense fear or discomfort that reaches its peak within a few minutes, accompanied by physical symptoms.

Common symptoms: Palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, a feeling of choking, and a strong fear or loss of control, although without any real danger present.

When to see a doctor? If the episodes recur, cause a fear that they will happen again, or limit your daily life, it is advisable to seek professional support.

Which specialist treats it? The clinical psychologist supports the understanding and management of these episodes through psychological support. Recognizing what you feel and sharing it in a consultation is a valuable first step toward well-being.
