Panic Disorder Information

Panic Disorder is considered to be a serious health problem but it can be successfully treated. Around 1.7 percent of American adults have experienced panic disorder at some point in their lives.

It typically strikes in early years of adult life and roughly half of all people who develop the condition diagnosed as panic disorder do so before the age of 24, and is most common between the age of 25 to 30. This is especially so if the person has been subjected to a traumatic experience.  It is understood that women are twice as likely than men to develop Panic Disorder.

If left untreated, the condition of panic disorder may worsen to the point where the person's life is seriously affected by panic attacks and by attempts to avoid or conceal the condition. In fact, many people have had problems with friends and family or employment while struggling to cope with Panic Disorder.

Some people may resist searching for panic disorder information and may begin to lie to conceal their condition. In some, individual symptoms may occur frequently for a period of months or years, then many years may pass symptom-free. In others, the symptoms persist at the same level indefinitely. There is evidence to suggest that some individuals who experienced symptoms at an early age may have reduced symptoms later in life, for example, past the age of 50.
