Having panic disorder can be challenging because you are never prepared for when a sudden episode of panic attack occurs. These sudden panic attacks with physical and emotional manifestations can make individuals feel helpless. At DeLand Treatment Solutions, we know how panic disorder affects the daily life of a person, so we are here to provide you with caring help and scientific therapy. If you are experiencing panic attacks, we will help you achieve lasting recovery.
Understanding Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is one of the specific phobia disorders that is characterized by repeated occurrences of panic attacks. Such attacks can happen at any time and the severity of the symptoms can be quite dramatic. An individual who is having a panic attack may have the feeling that something is wrong with their heart, or they are going to die or have a breakdown and this makes them avoid situations that may bring on another attack.
The exact cause of panic disorder is still not well understood but it has been identified that it may be caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Panic disorder can be caused by genetic factors or personal stressors and crises in the person’s life. Whatever the cause, however, treatment is necessary to control symptoms and enhance the patient’s functioning.
Signs and Symptoms of Panic Disorder
Knowing the symptoms of panic disorder is the first step in getting help. Panic attacks involve both the physical and the emotional symptoms and these may take sometime between a few minutes to an hour. Common symptoms include:
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
- Sweating, trembling, or shaking.
- Dyspnea or the sensation of suffocating.
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Nausea or dizziness
- Chills or hot flashes
The feeling that something terrible is going to happen, or the fear of the loss of control.
These symptoms are often very severe and can make it hard for those affected to go about their daily life. People who have panic disorder may start avoiding places and things that may cause the panic attack thus losing their social life.

Treatment Options for Panic Disorder
At DeLand Treatment Solutions, we have a range of procedures that are scientifically proven and help you deal with the causes of panic disorder while also helping you manage the symptoms efficiently. Our treatment options include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the best forms of treatment for panic disorder among others. This type of counseling enables the patient to learn how to alter irrational beliefs that are the primary cause of anxiety and panic disorders. In CBT you will be given tools to help you cope with the symptoms of panic disorder. A part of CBT known as exposure therapy can help you work through gradual exposure to situations or feelings that may cause a panic attack.
ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
ACT helps people to embrace cognitive and emotional experiences that are troublesome or distressing, meaning that people should not attempt to avoid or suppress such experiences. This helps the patient to work through their panic disorder by identifying what matters to them and then activating their self-help plan. ACT can reduce the cycle of fear and avoidance by teaching the patient to be more accepting of anxiety and thus be able to do more things despite it.
Medication Management
In some cases, the doctor may prescribe drugs for the treatment of the panic disorder symptoms. Medications work towards minimizing the number and severity of panic attacks and hence the person can be taken through therapy. If medications are required they will be prescribed by our staff of doctors and the use of medications will be incorporated into the patient’s treatment plan.
