Panic attacks are sudden experiences of intense anxiety, characterized by a rapid heart rate, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, dizziness, numbness, headache, chest pain, and nausea. A significant portion of the population will experience a panic attack at some point in their lives, with about 28% of Americans affected. While a single episode may be isolated, recurrent panic attacks can severely disrupt daily life, leading individuals to avoid activities they enjoy in fear of triggering another attack. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment, offering strategies for confronting and managing panic symptoms to reduce their impact.
