Personalized Care for Panic Disorder in San Diego
What Is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder in which you experience unexpected yet recurring panic attacks—intense episodes of physical and emotional distress. Because these attacks can occur without warning, oftentimes without an obvious cause, they can make you worry about future episodes and where you may be when one strikes.
The exact cause of panic disorder is not yet fully understood, but factors like stress, genetics, and brain chemistry can contribute to your likelihood of developing panic disorder.
Symptoms of Panic Disorder
If you’re suffering from one or many of these symptoms, you may be dealing with panic disorder:
- A sudden, intense feeling of terror
- Heart palpitations or rapid heartbeat
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating or chills
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Fear of losing control
- Fainting, lightheadedness, or dizziness
Because these symptoms could be caused by any number of disorders or conditions, a proper panic disorder diagnosis is crucial. Reach out to learn about our intake and initial assessment process that can uncover your mental health condition.
About Our Treatments
At Healthy U, we take a personalized, holistic approach to treating panic disorder. Our team utilizes several evidence-based therapies to help you reduce your symptoms and build your resilience.
Your customized treatment plan may include:
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication could play an important role in managing the symptoms of your panic disorder. Our licensed clinicians will carefully assess your needs and, if needed, can prescribe medications that support your recovery.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured talk therapy that teaches you to identify the negative thought patterns that contribute to your panic disorder. Once identified, you’ll learn how to change those thought patterns, challenge irrational fears, and develop practical ways to reduce physical symptoms.
Lifestyle Changes
In addition to medication and talk therapy, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications, such as:
- Regular exercise
- Healthy sleep habits
- Mindfulness or meditation
- Balanced nutrition
We can guide you through self-care techniques and lifestyle changes that complement your panic disorder treatment and enhance your overall well-being.
