PANIC DISORDER

People with panic disorder experience sudden feelings of fright and fear that they can't predict and they have no control over. Often times these individuals experience panic and anxiety between disorders because they are worrying about when they will experience their next attack. Most people began developing a panic disorder in adolescence or early adulthood and the risk of developing the disorder seems to be inherited.

Depression

Depression often accompanies anxiety disorders and, when it does, it needs to be treated as well. Symptoms of depression include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, changes in appetite or sleep, low energy, and difficulty concentrating. Most people with depression can be effectively treated with antidepressant medications, certain types of psychotherapy, or a combination of both.
