What is Panic Disorder

Panic Disorder is a condition. It is characterized by having panic attacks. These attacks usually include the following symptoms:

1. Rapid pulse
2. Rapid shallow breathing
3. Sweating
4. Impending fear that you are going to die
5. Hot flashes

Many other symptoms can accompany a panic attack as well. No one has exactly the same. My girlfriend has been struggling with the disorder for the past few months. I am a chiropractic physician and I have taken a very keen interest in understanding the condition and looking for ways to help. This can be a life changing condition if you let it run your life. The important thing is to take the appropriate steps today to treat yourself and improve your quality of life.
