Panic Disorder affects about 4% of the population. Individuals suffering from panic disorder have a persistent fear of having a panic attack and worry about the consequences of an attack. Many people change their behaviour in an attempt to prevent attacks, and some are so affected that they try to avoid any place where it might be difficult to get help or to escape from. When this avoidance is severe it is called Agoraphobia, which refers to people developing a fear of crowded places. 

Panic Disorder may become accompanied by depression, other anxiety disorders, dependence on alcohol or drugs, and may also lead to significant social and occupational impairment. This seminar will outline the aetiology of panic, panic disorder and the link between respiratory difficulties and panic disorder. Furthermore, various treatments for Panic Disorder will be discussed.
