Panic Disorder Treatment in Ahmedabad
A panic attack feels like a heart attack — sudden chest pain, racing pulse, choking, dizziness, fear of dying. Many patients rush to emergency rooms, undergo every cardiac test, and are told 'everything is normal' — yet the attacks keep coming. If this sounds familiar, you are not imagining it, and you are not alone. You may have Panic Disorder, and it is one of the most rewarding conditions to treat. Bliss Hospital provides specialised panic disorder treatment in Ahmedabad that has helped hundreds of patients become attack-free.
પેનિક એટેક ડરાવનો છે, પણ જીવલેણ નથી — યોગ્ય સારવારથી તે સંપૂર્ણ બંધ થઈ શકે છે.

Our Treatment Approach
A balanced plan tailored to your needs — combining medical, psychological, and lifestyle care.
Medication
SSRIs taken regularly reduce attack frequency dramatically over 4–8 weeks. Short-term anti-anxiety medication may be used briefly during the worst phase, then tapered. We never use sedatives long-term.
Therapy & Counselling
CBT for panic — including interoceptive exposure (safely re-experiencing the body sensations) and cognitive restructuring — is highly effective. Most patients become attack-free within 12–16 sessions.
Lifestyle Support
Diaphragmatic breathing, reduced caffeine, regular exercise, good sleep, and mindfulness training. We give you a written 'panic toolkit' to use during attacks until they fade naturally.
