This guide is designed to be used by adolescents in conjunction with treatment for panic disorder and agrophobia. It contains easy-to-understand explanations and forms for the patient as they receive treatment from their therapist. Panic disorder often first appears in adolescence, making effective treatment for this age group important. The program covered in this resource was developed at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University and targets patients ages 12-17. It features sessions to be delivered over an 11-week period. Through these sessions, adolescents learn about the nature of panic and anxiety and how to challenge their panic thoughts. Additionally, it covers exposure sessions, which will help them face their fears and stop avoiding situations that cause heightened anxiety.
