Bahut ghabrahat ho rahi hai — kya karu?
Anxiety disorders, including panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, affect an estimated 38.2 million Indians according to the Global Burden of Disease Study published in the Lancet. Panic attacks — sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and a sensation of impending doom — are frequently mistaken for cardiac events in Indian emergency rooms. A 2018 study in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry found that up to 30% of patients presenting with chest pain at Indian hospitals were actually experiencing panic attacks rather than cardiac pathology. Indian cultural attitudes often dismiss anxiety as nervousness or overthinking, delaying proper diagnosis by an average of 5-7 years. The condition carries particular stigma in Indian society where "ghabrahat" (nervousness) may be attributed to weak character or insufficient faith. First-line treatments including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cognitive behavioral therapy show strong efficacy, and acute panic episodes can be managed with grounding techniques and controlled breathing exercises.
