How To Treat: Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia

Australian Doctor, a weekly magazine for general practitioners and other doctors, published an article, How To Treat: Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia, written by me, on 28 October 2011. The article contains information about panic attacks, diagnosis of panic disorder or agoraphobia, and information about the treatment, both psychological and pharmacological, of these disorders. There's a section in the article about fear of flying, which is for some people, is a manifestation of agoraphobia (for others, it may be a manifestation of another anxiety disorder, such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).
