Panic Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Panic disorder is a mental health condition characterized by episodes of intense and sudden fear, called panic attacks, that arise without an obvious real danger. The fear that they will recur can shape daily life.
How it shows up: during an attack, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, dizziness, and a strong feeling of distress or of losing control may appear.
When to seek help? If the episodes recur or begin to limit your activities and relationships, asking for support makes a difference.
Which specialist treats it? The psychiatrist evaluates panic disorder from a mental health perspective, and the child psychiatrist treats children and adolescents. Talking about what you feel with a professional is a valuable step toward understanding and managing it.
