What is OCD and panic disorder treatment?

OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts paired with repetitive behaviors meant to reduce distress. Panic disorder involves sudden, intense episodes of fear with physical symptoms such as a racing heart or shortness of breath. Both can be treated with a combination of medication and structured therapy.

Cynthia Lonidier evaluates the specific pattern of your symptoms — obsessions, compulsions, or panic triggers — to build a plan that targets what is actually driving your distress.

Who is it for

  • Children, adolescents, and adults with intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that take up significant time
  • Patients experiencing recurrent panic attacks or fear of future attacks

Frequently Asked Questions

How is OCD different from general anxiety?

OCD involves specific intrusive thoughts paired with repetitive behaviors or mental rituals meant to relieve distress, while general anxiety is broader worry without those compulsive patterns. Your evaluation helps clarify which applies to you.

Can panic attacks be treated without medication?

Some patients manage panic disorder with therapy alone, while others benefit from medication alongside it. This is determined together based on the frequency and severity of your panic attacks.

How long before OCD or panic symptoms improve?

Timelines vary, but many patients notice some improvement within several weeks of starting treatment, with continued progress over the following months as the plan is refined.

Is this treatment available by telehealth for patients across Texas?

Yes. Both evaluation and follow up visits for OCD and panic disorder are available by telehealth for patients throughout Texas.
