We Treat People, Not The Anxiety

Anxiety isn’t limited to age, background, or religion. Anxiety disorders affect roughly 31% of U.S. adults. Anxiety often overlaps with other conditions too — for example, it’s common alongside ADHD, which can make symptoms harder to untangle without the right support. Both respond well to the right approach, which is why our panic attack and anxiety attack treatment address both effectively.

Does Any of This Sound Like You?

You are told to "just breathe" or "think positively."
You know the worry isn't rational but you can't stop it
Constant sense that something bad is coming.
Your heart races, your chest tightens.
You avoid places, situations, or conversations.
Moments that felt like a heart attack with no explanation why — a hallmark of a panic attack.

When Should You Seek Treatment for Anxiety or Panic Attacks?

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. Here are signs it’s time:

When worry or fear dictates your sleep most nights.
When you find yourself avoiding situations because of anxiety, and your world is slowly getting smaller.
When panic attacks happen more than once, or you live in constant fear of the next one.— a common sign of panic disorder.
When anxiety starts straining your relationships, work, or sense of self.

Are Panic Attacks and Anxiety Attacks the same?

Both are real, and both are terrifying, but they feel fundamentally different. Neither one means something is “wrong with you.” Anxiety attacks build gradually, usually tied to a specific worry or stressor. Panic attacks, come suddenly and often out of nowhere. Sometimes panic attacks are also connected to past trauma or PTSD, even when there’s no obvious trigger in the moment.” They bring intense physical symptoms: a racing heart, difficulty breathing, hyperventilation, and feeling like losing control — part of the body’s fight-or-flight response.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a panic attack vs. an anxiety attack?

Anxiety attacks build gradually, usually tied to a specific worry or stressor. Panic attacks, on the other hand, come suddenly and often out of nowhere.

How to Stop a Panic Attack (or Anxiety Attack)?

When you experience a panic or an anxiety attack, try calming your body through deep, slow breathing. Inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth.

Are panic attacks the same as anxiety?

Both are real, and both are terrifying, but they feel fundamentally different physically and mentally. Anxiety builds over time, and a panic attack has a rapid onset. It can also be a consequence of long-term anxiety.

When should I seek treatment for panic or anxiety attacks?

You don't have to wait until it's unbearable, but when you notice yourself isolating from your family, and friends, and are tired from a heart that won't stop racing, please reach out.

What causes panic attacks?

Panic attacks can be triggered by stress, trauma, major life changes, or underlying anxiety disorders — but sometimes they happen with no clear trigger at all, which is part of what makes them so unsettling.

Can you die from a panic attack?

No — panic attacks are frightening and can feel life-threatening, but they are not fatal on their own. The physical symptoms, like a racing heart, are your body's fight-or-flight response, not a medical emergency.

Can you pass out from a panic attack?

It's rare, but yes — in some cases, rapid breathing during a panic attack can briefly lower blood pressure and cause lightheadedness or fainting. If this happens often, it's worth discussing with a therapist.

Is anxiety a disability?

In some cases, yes. Under the ADA, anxiety disorders can qualify as a disability if they significantly limit daily functioning. A licensed therapist or doctor can help determine if your situation qualifies.
