If you’re wondering if you suffer from panic attacks, take our free panic attack test. If you have any questions or need help, contact us immediately. Such attacks usually develop abruptly, reach their peak within ten minutes, and last for approximately twenty minutes to a half hour.
Left untreated these attacks can often become more frequent and unexpected. The sufferer may begin changing their lifestyle as a result of the attacks, perhaps by avoiding certain places or situations in an attempt to control the panic experience. The pattern of avoidance and the level of anxiety associated with the attacks may so interrupt daily living that the person develops panic disorder.
