Panic disorder in children can manifest in a range of distressing symptoms that are often challenging for young individuals to understand and manage. Children experiencing panic disorder may encounter sudden and intense episodes of fear or discomfort, often accompanied by physical sensations such as rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath. These alarming experiences can significantly disrupt a child’s daily life, affecting their academic performance, social interactions, and overall emotional well-being.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of panic disorder in children is crucial for timely intervention and effective management. Children with panic disorder may express a persistent fear of experiencing further panic attacks, leading to avoidance behaviors that limit their engagement in various activities. At WCWCW, our compassionate and experienced team is dedicated to providing comprehensive support and tailored treatment plans to help children and their families navigate the challenges posed by panic disorder.
If your child is exhibiting signs of panic disorder, we encourage you to reach out to our WCWCW office or request an appointment online. Our team is committed to providing the necessary guidance and care to help your child overcome the challenges associated with panic disorder and lead a happier and healthier life.
