MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION
What is Panic Disorder?
Panic Disorder is defined by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks. These attacks involve a strong physical reaction accompanied by feelings of fear that come on suddenly, often reaching their peak within minutes. Panic attacks can occur without an obvious trigger, making them unpredictable and distressing. People who experience repeated panic attacks may develop anxiety and become preoccupied with having another attack, which can interfere with daily life and affect relationships, work, and overall well-being. If you have experienced four or more panic attacks or live in fear of having another attack, you may have a panic disorder.
If you are experiencing symptoms of Panic Disorder, remember that help is available. Our practitioners are committed to working with you, tailoring treatment options to best suit your needs.

What is therapy?
Therapy offers a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. During therapy sessions, your Headlight therapist will actively listen and provide guidance and insights to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and your challenges. Talk therapy can address a variety of mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship issues. Headlight’s clinicians are experienced in various therapeutic approaches and techniques and offer in-person or virtual sessions.
What is the difference between therapy and psychiatry?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
Why is it so important to find the right therapist?
Finding the right therapist is so important as it establishes a foundation of trust, creating a safe space for open communication. A well-matched therapist can better understand your individual needs, ensuring personalized support and enhancing the effectiveness of the therapeutic process.
