Almost two percent of adult Americans, or three million people, will have panic disorder at some time in their lives. Panic disorder is a serious health problem and is very dif­ferent from other types of anxiety.

Panic attacks are sudden, appear to be unprovoked, and are often dis­abling. If you have panic disorder, you may feel suddenly ter­rified for no reason. During a panic attack, you also have scary physical feelings like a fast heartbeat, trouble breathing, or dizziness. Some people believe they are having a heart attack.

Panic attacks can happen at any time and any place without warning. Many people with panic disorder develop intense anxiety between episodes. It is not unusual for a person with panic disorder to develop phobias about places or situ­ations where panic attacks have occurred, such as in super­markets or other everyday situations.

Panic attacks often begin when people are young adults, around 18 to 24 years old. Sometimes they start when a person is under a lot of stress, for example after the death of a loved one or after having a baby. Anyone can have panic disorder, but more women than men have the illness. It sometimes runs in families.

Speaking to a spe­cially trained doctor or counselor who can teach you ways to cope with your panic attacks helps many people with panic disorder. Therapy will help you feel less afraid and anxious. Thanks to research, there are a variety of treatments available, including several effective med­ic­ations, and also specific forms of psy­cho­therapy. Often, a com­bination of psy­cho­therapy and med­ic­ations produces good results.

It is extremely important for a person suf­fering from panic disorder to understand that help is available. Tra­gically, many people with panic disorder do not seek or receive treatment. The physical toll this takes adds to the problem.
