When a man says to us (the psychotherapist), "I'm having panic attacks. They’re terrible. I’m going out of my mind.” We should you say to this person at this point that it is perfectly positive on his part to identify his health issue. We can use the cognitive behavioral therapy to help the patient learn, through his own experience, that panic symptoms are not dangerous. The therapist will help the patient to gradually re-create the symptoms of a panic attack in a safe, repetitive manner. Once the physical sensations of panic no longer feel threatening, the attacks begin to resolve. If the situation is not resolved still then medications can be used (MayoClinic).
