Panic Disorder Treatment in Tempe

Panic attacks can feel sudden, intense, and overwhelming—leaving you frightened and uncertain about when the next one might strike. At Amicus Health and Wellness, we help you understand and manage panic disorder so you can regain control and confidence in your daily life.

What Panic Attacks Feel Like

Panic attacks are unexpected waves of fear or anxiety that can happen without warning. They often cause strong physical symptoms such as:

• Pounding or racing heart

• Shortness of breath or chest pain

• Sweating or trembling

• Dizziness or nausea

• Feelings of choking or tightness in the chest

The Mental Side of Panic

During a panic attack, many people experience intense mental symptoms like:

• Fear of dying or losing control

• Feeling detached from reality (derealization)

• Feeling detached from oneself (depersonalization)

• A sense of impending doom

Avoidance and Worry

People living with panic disorder often begin to avoid places or activities where attacks have happened before—such as crowded stores, driving, or exercising.
This can lead to constant worry about when the next panic attack will occur, lasting for weeks or even months.
