Hello, everyone. Today, I'd like to talk about 'panic disorder,' something many of you might be experiencing. Symptoms like sudden shortness of breath, a pounding heart, trembling... these can sometimes shake our daily lives to their very core.

"That First Panic Attack: 'What is happening to me?'"

Many people, when they first experience a panic attack, are frightened and bewildered, wondering 'What is happening to me?' This uninvited guest appears suddenly in the midst of ordinary life, shaking our minds without any warning.

"Is Panic Disorder Simply 'Anxiety'?"

Many who suffer from panic disorder tend to dismiss themselves as 'just anxious people'. However, panic disorder signifies a deeper internal issue than mere anxiety or stress—a state where psychological balance has been disrupted. We need to pay careful attention to the signals our mind is sending.

"Panic Disorder from a Traditional Korean Medicine Perspective, and Its Treatment"

In traditional Korean medicine, panic disorder is viewed as a state where the balance between body and mind has been disrupted. Imbalances in our body's Qi and Blood, as well as dysfunction in internal organ function, can manifest as psychological symptoms. Treatment begins with restoring this balance.

"The Start of Healing: Finding Peace of Mind"

Treatment involves various methods such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and meditation. Relaxation techniques, especially meditation, are greatly helpful in regaining peace of mind. Furthermore, regular exercise and healthy lifestyle habits are essential for maintaining balance between body and mind.

"Living with Panic Disorder: Finding Balance Within"

Experiencing panic disorder is certainly not easy. However, through this experience, we can gain an opportunity to understand our inner selves more deeply and listen more attentively to the voices of our body and mind. Taking care of oneself—that is the first step needed for those experiencing panic disorder.

"Finally, A Word to All of You"

To those struggling with panic disorder, please do not try to bear everything alone. While we may sometimes be overwhelmed by the weight of life, even within that, we can learn how to care for and love ourselves. There are people ready to help you by your side. Please feel free to share your story anytime. Let's walk together; with you, a brighter tomorrow surely awaits. May you have a healthy and happy day today!
