How to Help Someone With Panic Disorder
If you've found out that a friend or family member has panic disorder, you may be confused about how to help or even how to act with the person. Supportive friends and family are important to the person recovering from panic disorder. Here are tips for helping your friend or loved one build a solid support system.

In order to recover fully, we should be prepared to ask for help and to help our support people do the best they can.
