Panic Disorder & Panic Attacks
Panic Disorder & Panic Attacks: Personalized Neurotherapy at Genesis TMS
At Genesis TMS, we understand that panic disorder and recurring panic attacks are rooted in the brain’s stress and fear circuits. Rather than treating symptoms alone, we take a precision neuroscience approach—using advanced QEEG brain mapping and non-invasive TMS therapy to regulate overactive neural networks and bring lasting calm and resilience.
What Is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is a form of anxiety disorder characterized by repeated, unexpected panic attacks. These attacks come on suddenly, often without an identifiable trigger, and create an overwhelming surge of fear accompanied by intense physical sensations—such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, and a sense of doom.
While panic attacks aren’t physically dangerous, the fear of having one can become debilitating—causing people to avoid situations, limit travel, or withdraw socially. The disorder can disrupt relationships, work, and overall well-being.
Who is Affected by PTSD?
- Panic attacks affect 1 in 3 Americans at some point.
- Panic disorder affects approximately 2–3% of the U.S. population.
- Women are twice as likely as men to develop the condition.
- Many individuals with panic disorder also suffer from depression, PTSD, OCD, or generalized anxiety.

Symptoms of Panic Attacks
- Shortness of breath or smothering sensation
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Heart palpitations or rapid heartbeat
- Sweating, trembling, or shaking
- Nausea or abdominal distress
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Feelings of unreality or detachment
- Fear of losing control or going crazy
- Fear of dying
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Chills or hot flashes
What Causes Panic Disorder?
- Overactivity in the basal ganglia, which regulates anxiety levels
- Genetic predisposition
- Hormonal imbalances
- Trauma or chronic stress
- Exposure to toxins (e.g., mold, chemicals)
- Chronic infections (e.g., Lyme disease)
Why Choose Genesis TMS for Panic Disorder?
Genesis TMS provides a precision treatment model:
Brain Patterns in Panic Disorder
QEEG scans often reveal:
- Hyperactivity in the basal ganglia, which intensifies anxiety and triggers panic responses.
- Overactive limbic circuits, linked to emotional dysregulation.
- Our personalized TMS plans gently calm these areas to reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks.
Our personalized TMS plans gently calm these areas to reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks.
- QEEG brain mapping to identify overactive circuits causing panic.
Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)
- Drug-free, non-invasive therapy with minimal side effects.
- Personalized TMS protocols targeting brain areas like the basal ganglia.
- Continuous tracking of patient progress using brain and symptom data.
Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Panic disorder can be mistaken for:
- PTSD
- OCD
- ADHD
- Bipolar Disorder
- Generalized anxiety disorder
Misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate medication or treatment. At Genesis TMS, we use objective brain data to avoid guessing and provide targeted solutions that address the root cause.
