Treatment of Panic Disorder
The treatment of panic disorder typically
involves a combination of medication,
psychotherapy, and lifestyle modifications. Here
are some common approaches Medication
Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications are
commonly used to treat panic disorder.
Antidepressants such as selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and
serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
(SNRIs) are usually prescribed for long-term use.
Benzodiazepines, a type of anti- anxiety
medication, are also used to manage acute
symptoms, but they are generally not recommended
for long-term use due to the risk of
dependence. Psychotherapy Cognitive-behavioral
therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that is
often used to treat panic disorder. CBT focuses
on changing negative thought patterns and
behaviors that contribute to panic attacks.
Exposure therapy, a type of CBT, involves
gradually exposing the person to the situations
or triggers that cause panic attacks, helping
them to become less fearful over time. Lifestyle
modifications Making lifestyle changes can also
help manage panic disorder symptoms. Regular
exercise, healthy eating, and getting enough
sleep can help reduce stress and anxiety.
Avoiding caffeine, nicotine, and other
stimulants may also help to reduce the frequency
and severity of panic attacks
