British Neurology Psychiatry Center in Abu Dhabi provides professional assessment and individualized care for panic attacks and panic disorder. Our approach helps individuals understand their symptoms, manage anxiety, and explore suitable treatment options.
Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort that may involve a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, trembling, sweating, or a feeling of losing control. They can occur unexpectedly or in response to specific triggers. Although panic attacks can feel frightening, professional assessment can help identify possible causes and determine appropriate treatment options.
Common signs and symptoms may include:
• Rapid heartbeat or palpitations.
• Shortness of breath or a feeling of choking.
• Chest discomfort or tightness.
• Dizziness or light-headedness.
• Sweating, trembling, or shaking.
• Sudden intense fear or a feeling of losing control.
• Numbness or tingling sensations.
Panic attack symptoms can resemble those of other medical conditions. New, severe, or unexplained chest pain or breathing difficulties require urgent medical assessment rather than assuming they are caused by anxiety.
At British Neurology Psychiatry Center in Abu Dhabi, assessment begins with understanding the nature, frequency, and impact of panic attacks. Treatment may include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), strategies for managing anxiety, and medication when clinically indicated. Care is tailored to each individual’s symptoms, circumstances, and treatment goals.
Panic attack care may involve collaboration across relevant specialties depending on each person’s symptoms and individual needs. Explore our related services to learn more about assessment and treatment options available at British Neurology Psychiatry Center.
