IRVINE PSYCHIATRY AND TMS - DR. ROULA CREIGHTON
What Is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is a serious condition characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks, as well as the fear of having another attack. It can interfere with daily activities and impact a person's quality of life.
Effective Treatments For Panic Disorder
Our experienced therapists are trained in evidence-based treatments for panic disorder, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication. CBT can help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their anxiety. Medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.

What Causes Panic Disorder?
The exact cause of panic disorder is not fully understood, but it is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Here are four possible causes of panic disorder:
Genetics: Panic disorder tends to run in families, suggesting that there may be a genetic component to the disorder.
Environmental factors: Certain life experiences, such as abuse, neglect, or exposure to traumatic events, may increase the risk of developing panic disorder.
Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as heart disease or thyroid problems, can cause symptoms that are similar to those of panic disorder.
Neurotransmitter imbalances: Abnormalities in the levels of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, have been linked to panic disorder.
