Panic Disorder

What Is Panic Disorder?

Panic Disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by sudden, unexpected episodes of intense fear known as panic attacks that can occur without an obvious trigger. These episodes often bring overwhelming physical sensations such as a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or a feeling of losing control. While occasional panic attacks can happen to anyone under stress, Panic Disorder involves repeated episodes and persistent worry about when the next one might occur. This fear can lead to avoidance of certain places or activities, deeply affecting one’s quality of life. At Universal Health Solutions, we understand how distressing panic attacks can be, and we offer compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help individuals regain control, reduce fear, and restore confidence in daily living.

Our Approach to Panic Disorder

At Universal Health Solutions, our approach to treating Panic Disorder focuses on understanding the root causes of sudden and recurring panic attacks while providing compassionate, evidence-based care that restores calm and control. Panic Disorder is characterized by unexpected episodes of intense fear or discomfort often accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, trembling, or chest tightness. These attacks can feel overwhelming and may lead to constant worry about having another episode, which in turn affects daily functioning and confidence. Our team begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand each individual’s medical background, emotional history, and specific triggers. Treatment typically involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe fear-based thought patterns, along with Exposure Therapy to help clients gradually face and manage the sensations associated with panic in a safe, controlled setting. When necessary, medication such as SSRIs or anti-anxiety agents may be used to stabilize symptoms. We also integrate holistic techniques including mindfulness, breathing exercises, yoga, and relaxation training to help regulate the body’s stress response and promote long-term emotional balance. At Universal Health Solutions, we believe healing from Panic Disorder is not just about stopping the attacks it’s about helping you regain confidence, reduce fear, and restore a sense of peace in both mind and body.While occasional panic attacks can happen to anyone under stress, Panic Disorder involves repeated episodes and persistent worry about when the next one might occur.

While general anxiety often builds gradually in response to stress, panic attacks happen suddenly and feel more intense, often peaking within minutes. People with Panic Disorder also tend to live in fear of having another attack, which can lead to avoidance behaviors. Our specialists at Universal Health Solutions work closely with clients to identify triggers, understand body responses, and break the cycle of fear and avoidance.

The exact cause of Panic Disorder isn’t fully understood, but it’s believed to result from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. These may include genetics, heightened sensitivity to stress, trauma, or imbalances in brain chemistry. At Universal Health Solutions, we take a holistic approach looking at lifestyle, medical history, and emotional health to uncover the root causes and develop a tailored treatment plan.
