CONTEMPORARY THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES IN THE TRETMENT OF PANIC DISORDER

Ovaj rad istražuje suvremeni pristup u liječenju paničnog poremećaja, naglašavajući integraciju farmakoterapije i psihoterapije kao ključnu strategiju. Kombinacija selektivnih inhibitora ponovne pohrane serotonina (SSRI) i inhibitora ponovne pohrane serotonina i noradrenalina (SNRI) pokazala se učinkovitom u reguliranju neurokemijskih disbalansa koji doprinose paničnom poremećaju. Paralelno s farmakoterapijom, kognitivno-bihevioralna terapija (KBT) ističe se kao ključna psihoterapijska tehnika, omogućujući pojedincima razumijevanje uzroka anksioznosti i razvoj strategija suočavanja s napadajima panike. Personalizirani pristup tretmanu, uz edukaciju pacijenata o njihovom poremećaju, dodatno povećava uspješnost tretmana. Suvremeni pristupi ne samo da ciljaju na smanjenje simptoma, već i na promicanje emocionalnog blagostanja i kvalitete života. Daljnja istraživanja u ovoj oblasti ključna su za kontinuirani razvoj tretmanskih metoda i podrške osobama s paničnim poremećajem.This final paper explores a contemporary approach to the treatment of panic disorder, emphasizing the integration of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy as a key strategy. A combination of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) has been shown to be effective in regulating the neurochemical imbalances that contribute to panic disorder. Along with pharmacotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) stands out as a key psychotherapeutic technique, enabling individuals to understand the causes of anxiety and develop coping strategies for panic attacks. A personalized approach to treatment, along with educating patients about their disorder, further increases the success of treatment. Modern approaches not only aim to reduce symptoms, but also to promote emotional well-being and quality of life. Further research in this area is essential for the continuous development of treatment methods and support for people with panic disorder
