Panic disorder cant always be cured completely, but it can be managed very well. With proper treatmentusually therapy especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and sometimes medicationmost people experience significant reduction or even full remission of panic attacks. Many lead normal, healthy lives without panic interfering. Early treatment and ongoing support improve outcomes a lot. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If youre in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry.com, were here to help you.
Yes, panic disorders can be cured. Follow-up with the clinician making the diagnosis is an important next step.
Most panic disorders that require medical attention are not "CURED" by the medicine. Rather the symptoms are managed by the medications.
Panic disorder is not typically cured per se, but it can be managed readily through a combination of therapy and medication.
Panic disorder can be treated using medications and psychotherapy, but they may not go away completely, you just learn to better manage them.
