Freespira for Panic Disorder
The Center for Treatment of Anxiety and Mood Disorders is happy to announce our partnership with the Freespira for our patients who suffer from panic disorder and require panic attack treatment.
Freespira is an at-home therapy that trains patients diagnosed with panic disorder how to control and normalize their breathing patterns. Freespira was FDA-cleared in December 2013. This innovative new anxiety treatment includes a handheld tablet pre-loaded with the Freespira App and a small sensor to measure your breathing rates and level of exhaled carbon dioxide. The app uses simple audio and visual instructions to guide you through your breathing sessions.
The system is used at home as a 4-week treatment program while you remain under the supervision and care of your psychologist. The treatment is safe and has been demonstrated to be effective in clinical studies.
