I've been struggling with anxiety after my surgery and my mom is prone to panic attacks too. With the lockdown still going on, it's been really tough to manage. What can we do to cope with this at home?
While a complete and permanent cure for panic disorder is not always possible, various treatments can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks. These include psychotherapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and in some cases, medication, along with lifestyle adjustments and stress management techniques.
