Antidepressants do not cure panic attacks, but they help control and reduce their frequency and severity. They are often very effective as part of treatment, especially SSRIs and SNRIs. Combined with therapy like CBT, many people experience significant relief and can manage or overcome panic attacks. Long-term treatment may be needed to maintain benefits. 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.
