Panic Disorder Therapy in Fort Worth, Texas

Panic disorder is a mental health condition marked by recurring and unexpected episodes of intense fear. Unlike a single panic attack, panic disorder involves ongoing anxiety about when the next attack might occur, often leading to avoidance behaviors and a significant impact on daily life. Therapy for panic disorder focuses on identifying triggers, changing thought patterns, and developing effective coping strategies to reduce both the frequency and intensity of these episodes—helping individuals regain a sense of control and safety.

Symptoms

  • Chills

  • Nausea

  • Sweating

  • Chest pain

  • Heart palpitations

  • Shaking or trembling

  • Feelings of suffocation or breathlessness

Panic disorder is diagnosed when a person experiences repeated panic attacks and lives in persistent fear of having another. Unlike isolated panic attacks, panic disorder often leads to significant lifestyle changes, including avoidance of situations or places associated with previous episodes—such as open spaces, crowds, or even driving. These symptoms can feel sudden and intense, but with the right therapeutic approach, panic disorder is highly treatable.

Panic disorder is classified as an anxiety disorder, and like other forms of anxiety, it is commonly treated with a combination of therapy, medications, and healthy lifestyle changes. Anxiety patients are also encouraged to do breathing exercises and get regular exercise.
