Are panic attacks permanent?

Not necessarily: They should resolve with proper treatment. A combination of medication and cognitive behavior therapy has the best outcome.

No: Panic attacks by definition are of short duration. However, some people experience several per day. With proper treatment the attacks can be managed and often eliminated. Consult a physician skilled in treating anxiety disorders.
