Panic disorder isn’t just about fear—it can have truly life-threatening consequences. In this video, I break down the numbers and share why it’s critical to talk about the connection between panic and severe mental health outcomes.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone. There is help and hope. Reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or visit 988lifeline.org for support.

My goal in sharing these numbers is awareness, not fear, and to shine a light on the realities people with panic disorder face. I also want to remind you that you are not alone, you are not crazy, and there is HOPE.

Panic attacks can make you feel like you’re the only person on earth who’s ever felt this way. You’re not.

In this video, I’m sharing a story about a man in the 1960s and what his experience with panic disorder was like—then I’m contrasting it with how my panic attacks started and what my first panic attack felt like.

My point is simple: people have been living with panic attacks for decades, and for a long time it wasn’t talked about, named clearly, or treated with the attention it deserved.

If you’re in it right now, I want you to hear this: you’re not broken, you’re not weak, and you’re definitely not alone.
