Anxiety & Panic Disorders
What Is Anxiety &
Panic Disorder?
Anxiety is more than everyday stress or worry. It’s a persistent, overwhelming fear that interferes with daily life — work, relationships, sleep, and even simple tasks can feel impossible when anxiety takes hold.
Panic disorder takes it further — sudden, intense episodes of fear that peak within minutes, often with physical symptoms like a racing heart, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Many patients describe panic attacks as feeling like they’re losing control or in serious danger.
The good news: anxiety and panic disorders are among the most treatable mental health conditions. With the right support, most people experience significant relief — and a return to the life they deserve.
