Lo que estoy tratando de llevar a cabo con esta página web en particular, es tratar y conseguir que las personas entiendan lo abrumador de la cantidad de personas que se enfrentan con este terrible desorden, conocido como Desorden de Pánico. También las dificultades por la que muchos de nosotros nos enfrentamos.
La población con desórdenes de pánico varía entre el 1 y 2%. He tomado el promedio, por lo tanto he usadado 1½% como guía.

The number of people who will, at one time have a panic attack.    10% of the population will at one time in their lives have a panic attack. This is occasionally, and not to the point of disability.

THE AGE FACTOR
When it most often starts.    It is most common for a panic disorder to emerge in the early 20's, but children are not immune.

THE AGE FACTOR
When it might end.    Panic Attacks are rare in people over the age of 65.

GENDER
A big difference???    It is twice as common in woman, as compared to men. It is surmised that since men often repress their feelings on emotional issues that the numbers could be much different.

GENDER & AGORAPHOBIA
Another big difference?    Again, woman have a much higher risk of developing a severe degree of this... approximately 3 times more woman than men will develop it.

PANIC FREEDOM II
In those who sought treatment.    Agoraphobia was no longer experienced in 18% to 64% of those studied after ½ to 7 years of beginning of treatment.

PANIC FREEDOM III
Have it but living with it.    33% to 60% were living with their symptoms to the point where it no longer disabled them, again, ½ to 7 years after beginning treatment.

PANIC FREEDOM IV
For those that went untreated.    I do not have this information, but I am looking. Any offerings, please email me and let me know.

SHORT TERM TREATMENT
Stopping treatment when the symptoms stop    up to 75% of these patients will have a recurrence of their panic symptoms

THOUGHTS
What are suffers thinking about?    Panic Disorder suffers think about death, dying, wanting to die, and suicide more than ANY other psychological disorder, even severe clinical depression.
