Robert Verma is a 58-year-old accountant...
Robert Verma is a 58-year-old accountant who has always been meticulous and reserved. For the past two years, following the death of his wife, he has been experiencing severe, debilitating panic attacks. He describes a constant feeling of dread, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath that often strikes in meetings or crowded places, forcing him to leave work early. His primary care physician ruled out cardiac issues and referred him to psychiatry. The psychiatrist diagnosed Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and recommended a course of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with a low-dose SSRI. Robert was skeptical of 'talk therapy' but felt desperate. In weekly sessions, he learned to identify his catastrophic thought patterns and practiced gradual exposure to feared situations. After 12 weeks, his panic attacks reduced from several per week to one mild episode a month. He can now attend his daughter's school events and is planning a return to full-time work. Emotionally, he moved from a state of fearful isolation and shame to one of cautious hope and regained control, feeling he is honoring his wife's memory by re-engaging with life.
