Panic attack treatment vary by the individual. Cognitive behavior therapy treatment often sees results in 12 sessions.
It depends. The symptom itself might be treated quickly in 4-6 sessions, but sometimes there is an underlying vulnerability that can take longer to unearth (1-2 years).
It depends on the root cause of the panic attacks. Usually medication management and CBT is very useful.
