Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of approaches depending on your individual needs.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent panic attacks and ongoing concern about experiencing future attacks.
A panic attack is a sudden surge of intense fear or discomfort that can occur even when there is no immediate danger.
For some individuals, the fear of having another panic attack becomes so distressing that it begins affecting daily activities, relationships, work, travel, or social situations.

Panic attacks can affect both the mind and body.
Common symptoms may include:

While panic disorder and anxiety disorders are closely related, they are not the same.
Anxiety often involves ongoing worry, tension, or anticipation of future problems.
Panic attacks are more sudden and intense. They may occur unexpectedly and create a powerful sense of fear or danger.
Some individuals experience panic disorder alongside generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, trauma-related concerns, or other mental health conditions.
A thorough psychiatric evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to symptoms.

Many people experience significant improvement with appropriate treatment and support. Learning how panic attacks work and developing effective coping strategies can help reduce both the frequency of attacks and the fear associated with them.
The goal is not simply to reduce symptoms. It is to help individuals feel more confident, regain a sense of control, and return to the activities and relationships that matter most.

Many patients come to Adelpha without knowing exactly what condition they may be experiencing.
Symptoms often overlap. Anxiety can look like ADHD. Depression can occur alongside trauma. Mood changes may have many possible causes.
The purpose of the consultation process is not simply to assign a label. It is to understand the full picture and help determine what type of support may be most appropriate.
Whether you have an existing diagnosis, are seeking a second opinion, or are simply looking for answers, our team can help guide the next step.
Insurance support is part of making care accessible
The first step is a consultation process.
Thoughtful care starts with a thorough evaluation.
At Adelpha, getting started does not mean rushing into treatment without context. The first few visits start with an initial consultation period. This process includes at least two visits for adults and three visits for children and adolescents within the first month. This gives your physician or marriage and family therapist time to understand your history, current concerns, goals, previous treatment, and what kind of care may be helpful.
When appropriate, your physician or marriage and family therapist may ask to coordinate with your prior or current mental health providers, your primary care physician, or family members involved in your care. At the end of the consultation phase, we will share our impressions and recommendations. We will work with you to determine whether ongoing care with Adelpha is clinically appropriate and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
