Panic attacks are brief episodes of extreme fear. They may be mistaken for heart attacks or strokes, but are actually psychological rather than physical. Panic attacks can occur suddenly and usually peak within ten minutes. Most panic attacks end within 20 to 30 minutes.

Anxiety Symptoms
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder that falls under the broader category of mental health disorders. Like other forms of anxiety, it can be overwhelming and disruptive to daily life—but it is also highly treatable.
At Crawford Clinics, we provide comprehensive anxiety treatment that often includes a blend of anxiety therapy, medication management, and supportive lifestyle strategies. Treatment is tailored to the individual and may involve addressing related conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder when present.
Individuals with panic disorder frequently experience intense panic attacks, which can include both physical and emotional symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fear of losing control.
To help manage these symptoms, clients are encouraged to practice grounding techniques, including breathwork and mindfulness exercises, along with regular physical activity. By combining therapeutic tools with healthy routines, individuals can build resilience and regain control over their lives.
If you're struggling with any anxiety symptoms, the team at Crawford Clinics in Southlake, TX is here to help with compassionate, personalized care.
