Summary:

The treatment described in this Therapist Guide is specifically designed for adolescents with panic disorder and agoraphobia. Panic disorder often first appears in adolescence, making effective treatment for this age group a priority. Left untreated, panic disorder can severly impair an adolescent's development and functioning. It can put an adolescent at risk for depression and have consequences into adulthood.
