The time it takes to treat panic attacks varies for each person. With proper treatment—like therapy (especially cognitive-behavioral therapy), medication, or both—many people start feeling better within a few weeks to a few months. Some may see improvement sooner, while others might need longer. Consistency with treatment and working closely with your healthcare provider is key. If you want, I can share tips to manage panic attacks in the meantime. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist.

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.
