A member asked:

I have panic attacks that are like seizures. is there a way to treat this? if so, what kind of condition might it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat panic attacks: First, let us make sure that what you are experiencing are actually panic attacks and not something else. Have a medical evaluation, preferably with a neurologist. Once your condition is clarified, you can be directed for specific medical and/or psychiatric interventions appropriate to your needs.
