What is the most effective therapy for panic disorder?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the gold standard for panic disorder treatment. This form of therapy helps you identify and change unhealthy and unhelpful thought patterns. You’ll also learn effective coping strategies to manage attacks when they occur.

How is panic disorder tested and diagnosed?

A panic disorder diagnosis requires a comprehensive assessment by a licensed mental health care professional, using structured evaluations and self-report questionnaires.

Can an online psychiatrist prescribe medication for panic disorder?

Yes, providers can prescribe certain panic disorder medications online. Talkspace psychiatric providers can recommend and prescribe certain types of drugs, including non-controlled substances. While benzodiazepines typically aren’t available online (and are not prescribed by Talkspace), SSRIs, SNRIs, and other medications that aren’t controlled substances are commonly prescribed for panic disorder.

Are panic attacks the same as anxiety?

No, panic attacks are not quite the same thing as anxiety. While the two have overlapping symptoms, anxiety is a chronic mental health condition that’s typically less intense than panic attacks. Panic disorder causes sudden and intense episodes that can be debilitating. They’re also recurring, whereas generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is more of an ongoing worry or feeling on edge. However, it’s possible to have both anxiety and panic disorder.

Most insurance plans will cover therapy and psychiatric services for panic disorder treatment. However, you can verify coverage with Talkspace before seeking treatment, so there are no surprises about cost.
