Editorial policy

Panic Attack Guide publishes guidance for people who want to understand panic attacks and the available treatments. Because the topic is health-related, we hold ourselves to a strict editorial standard for accuracy, sourcing, and clarity.

Sources we rely on

We prioritise primary, peer-reviewed and authoritative sources, including:

• The DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association)
• National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
• Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine
• National Institutes of Health (NIH) and PubMed-indexed journals
• NHS, NICE (UK), and equivalent national bodies
• WHO and ICD-10/ICD-11

Where claims rest on a specific source, we link to it inline.

How articles are written

Articles are drafted by writers with subject-matter familiarity and reviewed by an editor for clarity, accuracy, and alignment with current clinical guidance before publication. Our goal is to make complex medical information understandable without flattening important nuance.

Reviews and updates

Each article is reviewed at least annually to confirm it still reflects current evidence. The most recent review date appears on the article and in its structured-data metadata. Pages with new evidence or guidance are updated sooner.

Corrections

If you find a factual error, please write to hello@panicattackguide.com. We respond to credible correction requests promptly and note substantive corrections at the bottom of the affected article.

Independence

Panic Attack Guide does not accept payment to write favourable coverage of products, services, providers, or treatments. We do not run sponsored articles. If we ever introduce advertising or affiliate revenue, that policy will be disclosed clearly here.
