Let’s break it down:
- When it happens: Roughly 4.7% of U.S. adults struggle with panic disorder at some point. That’s a lot!
- Why it matters: Beyond the momentary terror, untreated panic can derail grades, crush friendships, and strain family bonds.
- The verdict: It’s not just a phase. Panic attacks are real, serious mental health challenges that need professional help.
