What causes panic disorders? The truth is—there isn’t just one answer.
For many individuals, panic disorder develops from a combination of genetic predisposition, chemical imbalances in the brain, heightened sensitivity to stress, or overwhelming life events like trauma, illness, or major transitions.
Sometimes it begins with a single unexpected panic attack. Other times, repeated episodes lead to constant fear of the next one.
Panic attacks can feel like:
⚡️ Losing control
⚡️ Having a heart attack
⚡️ Struggling to breathe
⚡️ Experiencing sudden doom without danger
Over time, people may begin avoiding places or situations where previous attacks occurred, which can shrink their world and impact quality of life.
