Treatment Options for Panic Disorder
Every treatment plan is developed according to each patient’s diagnosis, symptom severity, treatment history, and clinical needs.
Psychiatric Evaluation
A comprehensive psychiatric assessment reviews panic symptoms, medical history, emotional health, lifestyle factors, and other mental health conditions that may contribute to recurrent panic attacks.
Panic Disorder Diagnosis
Diagnosis is established through a detailed clinical evaluation, considering symptom history, functional impairment, and established psychiatric diagnostic criteria to guide appropriate treatment.
Medication Management
When clinically appropriate, medication may be recommended to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks, lessen anticipatory anxiety, and improve overall daily functioning. Treatment includes regular monitoring and medication adjustments when needed.
Psychotherapy Coordination
Psychiatric care may be complemented through coordination with therapists providing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or other evidence-based psychotherapy to strengthen coping strategies and improve long-term symptom management.
Ongoing Treatment Management
Regular follow-up appointments allow treatment plans to be reviewed and modified as symptoms change, ensuring continued progress and long-term symptom control.
Evaluating Panic Disorder Alongside Other Mental Health Conditions
Panic disorder often presents alongside additional psychiatric conditions that can influence diagnosis, symptom presentation, and treatment response.
Dr. Imran Akram conducts comprehensive psychiatric evaluations to identify co-occurring disorders before developing an individualized treatment plan.
Assessment may include evaluation for:
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Depression
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- ADHD
- Bipolar Disorder
- Sleep Disorders
- Other Complex Psychiatric Conditions
Considering the complete clinical picture helps ensure treatment recommendations address all contributing factors rather than isolated symptoms.
