Panic Attacks
Panic attacks affect a significant number of people, with around 35% of Australians experiencing at least one in their lifetime. These sudden surges of intense fear and physical symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, or dizziness can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. Some people describe feeling like they are going to die which can be incredibly frightening. While panic attacks can be deeply distressing, they are also highly treatable. Reaching out for psychological support is an important first step toward regaining control and confidence.
