Panic: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment at Serin Center

Panic attacks are a debilitating condition affecting millions of people worldwide. These attacks can be triggered by stress or trauma, leaving sufferers feeling overwhelmed and unable to function normally. It involves a sudden episode of intense fear or discomfort that comes on without warning. It can also feel like you're losing control or dying, even though there is no real or apparent danger on your way. If you or someone you know is dealing with panic attacks, it's important to understand the symptoms, causes, and treatment options available.

Panic attacks are quite common. In the United States, up to 11% of people experience at least one panic attack yearly.

While panic attacks are relatively widespread, panic disorder is less common, affecting approximately 2-3% of the U.S. population. It's interesting to note that women are twice as likely as men to develop panic disorder.
