Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can feel frightening, causing symptoms such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, trembling, and intense fear. These episodes occur when the body’s fight-or-flight response becomes activated, even when no real danger exists. Although panic attacks can feel overwhelming, they are not life-threatening. Understanding the physical and emotional changes involved can help reduce fear, improve coping skills, and encourage timely support when needed.
