How can panic attacks be understood from a cognitive-behavioural model? Internal or external triggers may seem like threats, causing apprehension and physical sensations. When interpreted catastrophically, sensations may trigger a cycle provoking panic attacks. Learn more: ow.ly/ztqy50Zymft

Cognitive‒behavioural model of panic disorder
An external trigger (e.g., environmental) or internal trigger (e.g., body sensation, thought or image) can act as a stimulus to provoke a panic attack. If a stimulus is perceived to be a threat, anxiety-produced body sensations can be interpreted in a catastrophic fashion, further increasing apprehension. This fuels a vicious cycle that can provoke panic […]
