Panic Attack
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The one who treats a panic attack is, primarily, the psychiatrist along with the psychologist or psychotherapist, since it is an intense anxiety crisis that requires a mental health approach. A panic attack is a sudden episode of very strong fear or discomfort that reaches its peak within a few minutes, without a real danger to justify it.
How it usually presents:
- Palpitations and a sensation of shortness of breath
- Dizziness, sweating, or trembling
- Intense fear of losing control
When to seek help? When the episodes recur, cause anticipatory fear, or limit daily life, an evaluation is advisable.
A mental health professional can provide guidance on the available options and accompany the process; considering that consultation is a valuable first step toward well-being.
