var sec = "learn_nav"; Overview What Does It Feel Like? How Common Is Panic Disorder? Overview What it is : People with Panic Disorder experience repeated unexpected episodes of intense fear. These episodes, called panic attacks, occur without warning and in the absence of any external threats. Panic attacks can occur as often as several times a week or even per day, causing significant distress. People with panic disorder can develop an intense fear of having another attack and refuse to leave their homes (agoraphobia).( How it's diagnosed : Doctors use a set of guidelines to help determine whether you have panic disorder. They want to know if, one month after a panic attack, you have persistent concern about having another attack, you worry about the consequence or implications of panic attacks or you show significant behavioral change related to the attacks. Doctors want to ensure the attacks do not result from substance abuse or a medical condition. They also want to make sure the attacks are not caused by a different anxiety disorder.( How it's treated : Treatment can involve taking medications, psychotherapy (talk therapy) or both. It is likely you will need ongoing treatment to prevent the symptoms of panic disorder from recurring.

Blocking the cycle of panic disorder Ways to gain control of the fear of fear John R. Vanin, MD; Sandra K. Vanin, EdD VOL 105 / NO 5 / MAY 1, 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives To describe typical and atypical presentations of panic disorder To identify contributing factors and accompanying conditions in panic disorder To review common treatments for panic disorder This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables Preview : Most people who consistently expect the worst of situations merely go through life as pessimists. But some, possibly because of dysfunction in various biologic systems, get caught in a vicious circle of increasing anxiety that ends in terrifying physical and cognitive symptoms. In this article, the authors describe typical and atypical presentations of panic attacks and factors that may trigger and accompany them. They also summarize effective pharmacologic and cognitive-behavioral therapy and provide an educational handout for patients. M ost people have experienced anxiety at one time or another, and a certain amount may be beneficial. For example, being anxious about taking a test, giving a recital, making a speech, or meeting someone new is a normal response and may help improve performance. However, some people have such severe symptoms that the response interferes with daily functioning at school or work and in relationships and other social situations. This disabling anxiety may develop into panic attacks and panic disorder. Panic disorder occurs in about 3.5% of the US population (1), with onset typically in late adolescence or early adulthood. It is about twice as common in females as in males. Among patients seeking treatment for an anxiety condition, panic disorder is the most common problem. Estimates of the disorder's prevalence in primary care settings range from 4% to 10% (2). At the mental health clinic of West Virginia University, students with panic disorder and phobia represent about 6% of the newly diagnosed mental disorders we have seen within the past 2 academic years.

Patient Notes Coping with panic disorder VOL 105 / NO 4 / MAY 1, 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Have you ever had a spell when your heart suddenly began to pound and you felt light-headed and shaky? You may have had a panic attack. These episodes are very frightening. People often think they have some life-threatening problem, are going crazy, or are utterly losing control, but these calamities don't really happen. The attack usually lasts only a few minutes and then gradually fades and is completely gone within an hour. The following information may help you understand and cope with these dismaying episodes. What causes panic disorder? Most panic attacks come "out of the blue." But some are triggered by consuming too much caffeine or using stimulating drugs, such as those for asthma or colds. Other times, attacks occur during stressful periods, such as with a heavy workload or an emotional upset. If you have repeated episodes of panic attacks, you are said to have panic disorder. Many people with the disorder are terrified that they'll have another attack and begin to shun situations that they fear will bring one on. This "anticipatory anxiety" and avoidance can be seriously limiting. How can you manage panic disorder?

The long-term treatment of panic disorder by Davidson JR Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA. J Clin Psychiatry 1998; 59 Suppl 8:17-21; discussion 22-3 ABSTRACT P anic disorder is a chronic and recurring condition, and there is therefore a need for long-term therapy. This paper reviews data from long-term studies of drug treatment for panic disorder to address issues of whether medication benefits persist, whether improvement can continue over several months or years, the tolerability of long-term treatment, patient selection for long-term treatment, and when and how to stop medication. The main conclusion is that long-term drug treatment of panic disorder is necessary, effective, and safe. Serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors offer benefits of ease of dosing, good tolerability, and no safety or dependence problems; TCAs are often poorly tolerated, and benzodiazepines are associated with dependence problems. Withdrawal from all types of medication should be considered, slow, planned, and individualized; some patients require an indefinite duration of treatment. GAD TCAs SSRIs Anxiety ...

Encyclopedia Index P Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index P Panic disorder Definition A panic attack is a sudden, intense experience of fear coupled with an overwhelming feeling of danger, accompanied by physical symptoms of anxiety , such as a pounding heart, sweating, and rapid breathing. A person with panic disorder may have repeated panic attacks (at least several a month) and feel severe anxiety about having another attack. Description Each year, panic disorder affects one out of 63 Americans. While many people experience moments of anxiety, panic attacks are sudden and unprovoked, having little to do with real danger. Panic disorder is a chronic, debilitating condition that can have a devastating impact on a person's family, work, and social life. Typically, the first attack strikes without warning. A person might be walking down the street, driving a car, or riding an escalator when suddenly panic strikes. Pounding heart, sweating palms, and an overwhelming feeling of impending doom are common features. While the attack may last only seconds or minutes, the experience can be profoundly disturbing. A person who has had one panic attack typically worries that another one may occur at any time. As the fear of future panic attacks deepens, the person begins to avoid situations in which panic occurred in the past. In severe cases of panic disorder, the victim refuses to leave the house for fear of having a panic attack. This fear of being in exposed places is often called

Hi!!! Welcome to the page that is supertechsavvy!! This page has mainly been setup to express my opinions on things that have influenced my life, and what ways there are to improve those events. I am not a stickler for only talking about one topic, otherwise that is just too boring. Keep reading for information about my life experience with Panic Disorder. For those of you who have a good political conscience and are interested in knowing the truth about current events, then I suggest that you go and have a look at www.whatreallyhappened.com . As soon as I looked at this page, I knew that I was being dearly misinformed by the media about the world's events - particularly the Iraq invasion notion. So I would definitely NOT leave this page without having a look at it. It contains the TRUTH on just about everything that is happening in America at the moment. After sleeping for a couple of hours, I woke up with a super massive headache that lasted all day. That night, I got these awful zaps again, and after sitting still for 2 hours, I decided that this was indeed too much for me to handle. So, after calling the ambulance, and after listening to them say that 'no, you haven't got low blood pressure and aren't about to die', and 'it's all just your brain playing tricks on you', I did the old watch-TV-and-no-nothing-until-you-forcefully-sleep-for-2-hours-at-5-in-the-morning trick, I decided (and the paramedics also said) to stop taking the drug.It took me 4 long days to stop getting awful 'zaps' all the time. So after my ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE Paxil period, I had a good old cruise around the internet and found a BRILLIANT site that helped me recover properly. Its called quit paxil (
