With panic attacks, what can happen is people start to engage in what we call “safety seeking behaviours”. So, they might start to avoid those situations or places where they previously had panic attacks or symptoms associated with panic attacks. And what that can do over time means that they feel less able to go to certain places, to do certain things, and that can have implications in terms of what people feel able to do in their lives.
