How to Overcome Panic Disorder with Korean Medicine

1. Are You Struggling with Panic Disorder?

Hello, I'm Chief Director Choi Yeon-seung of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Are you experiencing difficulties in your daily life due to sudden panic attacks? Let's explore the causes of panic disorder from a Korean medicine perspective and learn about methods to overcome it.

2. What Symptoms Does Panic Disorder Present?

My heart suddenly pounds, and it feels like I'm dying because I can't breathe. Even going outside is terrifying, and my daily life has become severely restricted.

Symptoms of panic disorder include a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, tremors, and tingling in the hands and feet. Many individuals find their daily lives challenging due to extreme anxiety and fear. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we strive to improve these symptoms.

3. What is Panic Disorder?

Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. Key symptoms include palpitations, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and fear of fainting. It typically develops in people in their 20s and 30s, and women are about twice as likely to be affected as men.

4. What Are the Causes of Panic Disorder?

The causes of panic disorder are complex, involving factors such as excessive stress, irregular lifestyle habits, and genetic predispositions. Chronic stress, in particular, is considered a primary cause as it leads to autonomic nervous system imbalance, which can trigger panic disorder.

5. Panic Disorder from a Korean Medicine Perspective

In Korean medicine, panic disorder is viewed as a condition resulting from an imbalance between the mind and body. Excessive stress and emotional fluctuations are believed to disrupt the smooth circulation of Qi, leading to liver dysfunction and weakened heart function. Additionally, individuals who are congenitally weak in mind and body may be more susceptible to panic disorder.
