What Is Panic Disorder?
4. What Are the Treatments for Panic Disorder?
It may surprise you to know that panic disorder can be treated without medication. Many individuals with PD swear by cognitive-behavioral therapy, yoga, meditation, or a combination of holistic therapies to improve their condition and maintain mental wellbeing.
Others opt for a mixed approach and incorporate pharmaceutical medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline or paroxetine into their daily routine. These medications help to lower your level of anxiety over time. Benzodiazepines can be used to short-circuit a panic attack once it has begun.
