A panic attack is a sudden and intense feeling of anxiety, fear, or anticipation, without any real danger. Generally the symptoms of a panic attack arise unexpectedly, peak within 10 minutes, and then subside. Some attacks, however, can last longer or happen in succession, making it difficult to determine when one attack finishes and another starts.

Anxiety has a way of incorporating itself into any aspect of an individual's life. Whether it comes in the form of a complete panic or a constant concern, anxiety can restrict any part of your life's potential. It could prevent you from going to school, stop you from finding a job, destroy your friendships, or even render you a prisoner in your home. In short, it can be completely disabling.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a method of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients understand behavior-influencing thoughts and feelings. CBT is often used to treat a wide array of conditions including phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety. In general, cognitive behavioral therapy is short-term and focuses on helping clients deal with a very specific problem. People learn how to recognise and alter destructive or upsetting patterns of thought that have a negative impact on attitudes and emotions during the course of treatment.
