A 17 year-old boy who has been on medication for 6 years for panic disorder

 


     Q : I have been on medication for 6 years for panic disorder. However,        panic attack does not occur when I am focusing on something I like. 

      A : It is possible that you may not have the condition of panic disorder. Teenagers may experience symptoms of panic disorder without actually having the disorder. For example, when your teacher scolds you and you are stressed, you may display sudden rage that looks like an incident of intermittent explosive disorder or may experience breathing difficulties with other symptoms of panic disorder. Then, you may easily forget about it and focus on something fun and pleasurable. 

     Teenagers experiencing occasional displays of symptoms that resemble panic disorder is more likely to be the sign that they have not established the healing system of stress yet, rather than the sign that they actually have developed panic disorder. Also, in general, teenagers are not considered to develop psychological disorders since they are still in the process of forming self-identity and developing psychology. Their mind and psychology seem to be much more resilient and flexible and they are highly adaptible and easily transformable. Most psychological problems of children and teenagers are considered to be temporary, so usually, all they need is to establish adequate healing systems.

     Even in cases of adults, selective incidents of panic disorder are considered to be a psychological problem rather than a psychological disorder, which is a type of perception disorder. Then, they just need to establish adequate healing systems instead of being treated for perception disorder. Adults may have to take a longer time to establish healing systems than children since they already have established psychology. 

     Counseling may help cases of psychological problems, but cases of psychological disorders need psychology treatment. Severe cases of panic disorder may be accompanied by medication. In cases of teenagers' psychological problems that look like panic disorder, counseling and building healing systems may suffice for the disappearance of symptoms and stabilization of psychology.
