Panic Disorder is a treatable condition!!!
We closed off with Dr Karen Cohen – A Psychologist to talk about Panic Disorders. Last week Friday, it was the Panic Disorder Awareness Day. According to experts, Panic Disorder is a serious condition that around one out of every 75 people might experience. It usually appears during the teens or early adulthood, and while the exact causes are unclear, there does seem to be a connection with major life transitions that are potentially stressful: graduating from college, getting married, having a first child, and so on but Dr Cohen explained more. For more information on Panic Disorders contact the South African Depression and Anxiety Support Group (SADAG), they have a free 24 hour support line that is manned by counsellors on 0800 567 567 or (011) 262 6396 alternatively visit www.sadag.co.za
