Panic Disorder Treatment Specialist in Phoenix, AZ

Panic disorders are medically diagnosed by a doctor when you’ve had two panic attacks. Panic attacks are considered when an individual becomes overwhelmed or terrified, even if they are not in any danger. If you are constantly worrying, and changing your entire routine to ensure you are not going to have another panic attack, then you may be categorized as a type of anxiety disorder, which is panic attacks.
 
Panic attacks will often subside around 5 to 10 minutes after they start, but the lasting effects of panic attacks can linger for hours. It will often feel like you are having a heart attack or even a stroke. If you know someone who suffers from panic attacks, they often wind up in the urgent care center or emergency room for evaluation.

Often when you have a panic attack, you believe it is due to what you were doing, or where you were when the panic attack occurred and often will try to avoid the specific areas thereafter. When in actuality, it’s the panic disorder, not the thing or place that occurred that triggered it.

Unfortunately, we do not know the exact cause of panic disorders occurring; however, we have the possibility that can be a part of the brain which is why certain individuals go through panic disorders, which are related to sensitive areas when responding to fear. There is research showing a link between panic attacks and phobias. However, there is another theory that many researchers are following panic attacks due to an oversensitivity to carbon dioxide, which triggers the brain to believe you are suffocating.

Other triggers researchers believe cause panic disorders include:

● Genetics
● The environment you grew up in
● High levels of stress
● Constant negativity and negative emotions
