Panic Disorder Treatment in East Setauket, NY
Panic disorder is an anxiety condition characterized by sudden, intense episodes of fear, often called panic attacks.
These episodes can happen unexpectedly and may cause physical symptoms that feel frightening or overwhelming.
At Resilience Psychiatry, we help patients understand why panic attacks occur, identify triggers, and learn effective ways to manage or prevent them.
Understanding Panic Disorder
With compassionate, evidence-based care, it’s possible to regain confidence and control.
Common Symptoms of Panic Disorder
Panic attacks can feel both physical and emotional. Common symptoms include:
- Rapid heartbeat or chest pain
- Shortness of breath or choking sensation
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Sweating, trembling, or shaking
- Nausea or stomach distress
- Feeling detached or unreal
- Fear of losing control or “going crazy”
- Fear of another attack happening
If these experiences are frequent or cause you to avoid certain places or situations, treatment can help break the cycle.
Our Approach to Treating Panic Disorder
Treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms, history, and stress factors.
Your individualized plan may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change fear-based thought patterns
- Medication management, when appropriate, to reduce frequency and severity of attacks
- Breathing and relaxation techniques to regain control during early warning signs
- Education on panic triggers and coping mechanisms
- Telepsychiatry follow-ups for ongoing support and accessibility
Our goal is to help you feel empowered, safe, and confident, free from the fear of panic attacks.
