Panic Disorder Treatment
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
What is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort that peak within minutes and can often appear without any triggering event. These attacks are often followed by at least one month of persistent concern about having another attack or significant behavior changes to avoid situations where attacks might occur.

Treatment with Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy
Ketamine-assisted therapy offers rapid relief from panic disorder symptoms, often showing improvement within hours to days, far quicker than traditional treatments. It’s particularly effective for those who haven’t responded to standard therapies like SSRIs or CBT, providing a new solution for persistent panic attacks.
By addressing the underlying neural mechanisms, ketamine helps reduce both the frequency and intensity of attacks, easing the intense anxiety and fear associated with panic disorder. If other treatments haven’t worked, ketamine therapy might be the breakthrough you need.
