We can also think of a panic attack as a misfire of the fear system.
The symptoms experienced in the body are tried to be understood by the person, but the symptoms cannot be explained. In this case, the fear system is ignited, giving rise to other beliefs. (I’m dying, having a heart attack, etc.)
The effectiveness of drug therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the treatment of panic disorder has been reported (Pollack et al. 2003). The effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also seen in points such as the absence of side effects, the fact that it can be applied to individuals who refuse to use drugs, and the positive effects of the treatment continue after the therapy process is completed (Nadiga et al. 2003).
