CENTER FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS AND PHOBIAS

Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia

  • Unexpected surges of anxiety with symptoms of palpitations, sweating, trembling, shaking, shortness of breath, feelings of choking, chest pain or discomfort, nausea, dizziness, unsteadiness, lightheadness, fear of losing control, and going crazy, or dying.
  • Anxiety about having a panic attack and being in places or situations where escape may be difficult or embarrassing or help may not be available. Agoraphobia includes fears of being home alone, in crowds, standing in line, driving over bridges, or traveling on public transportation, or in a car.

Dr. Sholomskas and Dr. Taylor are both certified Panic Control Therapists, specializing in effective science based treatment for panic disorder.
