 Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder that causes repeated, unexpected attacks of intense fear. These attacks may last from minutes to hours.

The exact cause of panic disorders is unknown. Genetics may play a role. Studies suggest that if one identical twin has panic disorder, the other twin will also develop the condition 40% of the time. However, panic disorder often occurs in family members who are not blood relatives.

With panic disorder, at least four of the following symptoms suddenly occur within 10 minutes. Attacks may be followed by at least 1 month of persistent fear of having another attack.

• Chest pain or discomfort

• Dizziness or faintness

• Fear of dying

• Fear of losing control

• Feeling of choking

• Feelings of detachment

• Feelings of unreality

• Nausea or upset stomach

• Numbness or tingling

• Palpitations or pounding heart

• Sensation of shortness of breath

• Sweating, chills, or hot flashes

• Trembling or shaking

There are often extreme changes in behavior at home, school, work, or with family. People with the disorder often worry about the significance of their panic attacks. They may think they are "going crazy" or having a heart attack.

Behavioral therapies are beneficial in the treatment of panic attacks. These include:

• Cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy

• Cognitive restructuring (learning to recognize and replace panic-causing thoughts)

• Exposure

• Pleasant mental imagery

• Relaxation techniques

Behavioral treatment appears to have long-lasting benefits. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and regularly scheduled meals may help reduce the frequency of the attacks.

Testimonial

I believe that I have made significant progress in overcoming my procrastination.  It has amaz-ed me that a little change makes a big improvement.  I have tried without success in the past to work around this limitation until today.  Since my last visit, I have moved our office, redecorated my basement, in the process of learning and new CAD program and am starting a new business partner-ship. This has offered me significant improvement in my lifestyle as I find my-self spending more time with my wife and family....  Edward
