Panic attacks are episodes of intense fear or discomfort, but an attack alone does not establish panic disorder. Because chest pain, breathlessness or fainting can also have physical causes, new or severe symptoms need medical assessment.

Common questions
Are panic attacks dangerous?
They can feel severe, but similar symptoms may have medical causes. Seek urgent medical help for new, severe or unexplained chest pain or breathing difficulty.
Does one attack mean I have panic disorder?
No. Diagnosis depends on a pattern and its impact; a qualified clinician can assess it.
Can I learn ways to respond to panic between sessions?
Yes. A professional may teach you to understand panic sensations and practise skills between sessions. If symptoms are new, severe or unexplained, get medical advice first.
