Anxiety and Panic Disorder

Anxiety is a natural human response, often acting as a warning system for potential threats. However, for many, anxiety doesn’t stop at being a momentary concern. It becomes a chronic condition that permeates every corner of daily life. Symptoms may include constant worry, tension, rapid heartbeat, and restlessness. Panic disorders, a subtype of anxiety disorders, are characterized by sudden and intense episodes of fear, often accompanied by chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath. These panic attacks can be so severe that individuals may feel they're having a heart attack or losing control.
