  • Panic Disorder

    Have you ever experienced such sensations like the following?

    • sweating,
    • nausea,
    • trembling,
    • numbness in the legs or hands,
    • dizziness,
    • hot or cold flashes,
    • a feeling of tightness or pressure in the chest,
    • hyperventilation,
    • “jelly” legs or
    • blurred vision,
    • felt like you were going to die of a heart attack or,
    • losing control of your body functions


    It is likely that you were having a panic attack. And it is more common than you think. According to some reports, one out of three young adults has had a panic attack in the last year.

    These intense feelings of panic usually do not last for very long and most people brush off the episode as “freaking out.” Some people become very agitated however, and develop a fear of it happening again.

    If you have more than four panic attacks within a month or a panic attack occurs even when you are not in an anxious or stressful situation, it is probable that you have a panic disorder. People who are susceptible to panic attacks are more likely to be concerned with illness, death or losing control. Panic disorders usually happen to those between 20 and 30 years old.
