Panic Disorder,[object Object]
Panic Disorder?,[object Object],Anxiety disorder that is characterized by extreme and frequent panic attacks,[object Object]
May experience the attacks unexpectedly  and for no apparent reason, but they can also be preceded by some sort of triggering event or situation.,[object Object]
What are the symptoms?,[object Object],Include symptoms such   as severe feelings of    terror, rapid breathing  and rapid heart rate.,[object Object]
A pounding heart, sweating, trembling,    numbness in the hands and feet,          dizziness, weakness, chest pain and rapid breathing,[object Object]
During an attack, many people suffering    from panic disorder describe feeling as if they are having a heart attack or on the verge of dying.,[object Object]
Behavior changes as a result of having     panic attacks, such as avoiding certain   situations, areas of objects out of fear    that they will trigger another attack.,[object Object]
Because panic disorder often leads to       individuals avoiding certain situations or      objects, it can also lead to phobias.,[object Object]
People with panic disorder may have symptoms of alcoholism, depression and drug abuse.,[object Object]
How many people suffer from this disease? And what gender is more effected?,[object Object],Approximately three million American adults will suffer from the panic disorder; women are twice as likely to experience panic disorder as men.,[object Object]
What age group is most effected? ,[object Object],Symptoms usually begin before age 25, but may  occur in the mid 30s. Although panic disorder  may occur in children, it is often not diagnosed until they are older.,[object Object]
Treatment,[object Object],The goal of treatment is to help you function well    during everyday life.      Cognitive-behavioral       therapy (CBT) and         medications are the mainstays of treatment,[object Object]
Antidepressants called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are the most commonly used medications for panic disorder. ,[object Object]
When I was 15 years old, I used to get beat up by college students with big tattoos. Until now, when I see a person with tattoo or a college student with tattoo, I get dizzy and numbness in the hand and feet. ,[object Object]
Because of my fear, I began to drink alcohol without any control; I became an alcoholic who is afraid of people, thinking that everyday someone is going to beat me up.,[object Object]
I feel scared and sometimes want to die. When I just think about certain situation, I get dizzy and want to die. One time I was at party, I almost fought with this person. Later I discovered that he had big tattoo on his back. My disorder immediately kicked in, and I was sent to the hospital.,[object Object]
Everyone recommended me to take medications that could help me. It worked for me for a while, but it was only a short period of time. ,[object Object]
I am currently in therapy to overcome my disorder. I know this will be a hard time but I know I can get through this because everything is in my head, and I can get through it. Hopefully.,[object Object]
I would like to say to other patients that you are not alone. The first thing you need to do is to open yourself to the therapist so they can help you. You are not alone and you can get through this problem.,[object Object]
DO NOT try to hurt yourself; I know exactly how you feel and how sometimes you want to die because of the fear that consistently sweep you. Remember that you can get through this and you can be normal again.,[object Object]
