2. One of the most common and treatable
mental health illnesses is a panic disorder.
Children and adolescents suffering from
panic disorder can have sudden and
repeated episodes of extreme fear or
uneasiness. They are also unable to breathe
with their heartbeats racing and pounding.
These symptoms happen during panic
attacks. These panic attacks can last up to
minutes or sometimes hours. Most of the
time, panic attacks just occur suddenly.

3. What are the symptoms of a panic attack?
Panic attack symptoms include intense
worrying or fearfulness, racing heartbeats,
shortness of breath, shaking, dizziness and
sometimes derealization.

4. Panic disorder usually begins during
adolescence, but it may also start during
childhood. It sometimes runs in families. It
is important for it to be recognized and
treated because its complications can be
distressing. If not treated, it can affect a
child’s or an adolescent’s daily life and
overall development.

5. Even when they are not having panic
attacks, children and adolescents who
suffer from panic disorder may always
have anxiety. Some of them begin to avoid
those situations that trigger their panic
attacks. In extremely serious cases, some of
them are even scared to leave their homes.

6. What’s more frightening is that children
and adolescents with panic disorders can
develop depression and would be at risk to
have suicidal thoughts. Some will resort to
alcohol or drugs to lower anxiety levels.

7. HOW IS PANIC DISORDER
DIAGNOSED?
It can be difficult to diagnose panic
disorder among children and adolescents.
It is ideal to have them visit a physician
and undergo different tests. If diagnosed
and evaluated accurately, panic disorder
usually responds well to treatment.

8. HOW CAN PANIC DISORDER BE
TREATED?
There are various ways to treat panic
disorder including specific medications and
psychotherapy. Through this, they may
develop ways to control their panic attacks.
Also, there are home management
strategies that can be implemented. Parents
should be hands-on to their children
suffering from panic disorder.

9. Panic disorder should be treated as early as
possible. If not, it may lead to distressing
complications such as agoraphobia,
depression, and addiction to a substance.
