Contents
Panic attacks are a common condition that affects one in five people at some point in their lives. While their symptoms are often mistaken for physical health issues, panic attacks are actually treated by psychiatrists and psychotherapists.
IsraRehab Clinic uses advanced Israeli and global medical techniques to effectively treat both panic attacks and their root causes.
What Is a Panic Attack?
A panic attack is a sudden and intense episode of fear or anxiety accompanied by physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, shortness of breath, chest pain, and more. These episodes typically last from 10 minutes to an hour, making them difficult to observe in a clinical setting.
If such episodes occur sporadically, they are considered isolated attacks. However, if symptoms repeat regularly, the condition is diagnosed as panic disorder.
Panic attacks may be triggered by stress, internal conflicts, or specific phobias. In some cases, they occur without any apparent cause. Severe cases may be accompanied by depression.
Because the symptoms are so distressing, individuals often begin avoiding situations that could trigger an attack. Unfortunately, this avoidance only deepens the disorder rather than resolving it.

Diagnosing Panic Attacks
Many people initially visit general practitioners or cardiologists, as panic attacks often involve symptoms related to the heart, lungs, or digestive system. However, these doctors may only treat the symptoms—not the underlying cause.
At IsraRehab, diagnosis begins by ruling out somatic conditions that could mimic panic symptoms. Afterward, we assess the patient’s symptoms against international diagnostic criteria for panic attacks.
To diagnose panic disorder, the following must be present:
- Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks.
- Persistent concern about additional attacks.
- Maladaptive behavior (e.g., avoiding crowds or public transport).

How Panic Attacks Are Treated at IsraRehab
Sometimes, panic attacks subside on their own—especially if the triggering situations are repeatedly encountered. However, when comorbid mental health conditions are present, self-recovery becomes significantly more difficult.
At IsraRehab, we offer individualized treatment plans based on tried-and-tested methods approved by top Israeli specialists. Our therapeutic approach includes:
Medication Therapy
Antidepressants, anxiolytics (such as benzodiazepines), or combination drugs may be prescribed. All medication use is closely supervised by medical professionals.
Psychotherapy
We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to eliminate irrational fears and promote adaptive behavior. Therapists help patients safely confront and manage triggering situations.
