Panic disorder is a mental health condition that causes unexpected and recurrent panic attacks. These intense episodes of fear and discomfort can be frightening and often lead individuals to avoid places, situations, or even activities they associate with past attacks. If you're struggling with panic disorder, you don't have to face it alone.
At Nityanand Rehab Centre, we specialise in the treatment of panic disorder with compassionate care and personalised treatment plans. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you manage symptoms, reduce anxiety, and regain control of your life.
Panic disorder is a chronic anxiety condition characterised by recurrent panic attacks, sudden episodes of overwhelming fear and discomfort that peak within minutes. Panic attacks can occur without warning and often lead to physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, shaking, and difficulty breathing.

Panic disorder symptoms can vary from person to person, but they generally include:
In between panic attacks, individuals with panic disorder may experience constant worry about having future attacks, leading to changes in behaviour and lifestyle.
