A panic attack (PA) is considered a serious mental disorder and occurs mainly in young people aged 18 to 35, as well as in postmenopausal women. It involves bouts of anxiety and unfounded fear that can last from 5–10 minutes to 1–1.5 hours.
Without treatment, panic disorders lead to sleep disturbances, depression or phobias, and exhaustion of the nervous system. Timely, appropriate treatment aimed at eliminating the causes of panic attacks helps avoid complications.
