Frequently Asked Questions
A panic attack is a sudden surge of intense fear or discomfort that peaks within minutes and includes physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, and strong feelings of fear or loss of control.
Most panic attacks peak within a few minutes and typically last less than an hour, though lingering anxiety or fear of another attack may persist afterward.
Panic attacks are not life-threatening, but they can feel very frightening and may interfere with daily life if they happen frequently or lead to avoidance behaviors.
Effective treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation and breathing techniques, mindfulness practices, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication prescribed by a healthcare professional.
