Dear ,
We have all seen the coverage of two-time grand slam tennis champion Simona Halep suffering a panic attack during her match in the French Open last week. She has been praised by commentators such as Tim Hennan for speaking openly about her experience.
Of course most people suffering panic attacks do not do so under the glare of international media - but are no less intense. Generally, Panic Disorder is a treatable condition - if we know the correct techniques.
What is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder where a person regularly has attacks of panic or fear which come on suddenly. During a panic attack there is a rush of intense mental and physical symptoms. Attacks can come on very quickly and for no apparent reason.A panic attack can be very frightening and unsettling. Symptoms can include elevated heartrate, feeling faint and sweating. Sufferers can sometimes feel they are going to die.
Fortunately the condition is highly treatable and the prognosis is good through the use of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and related approaches
