Overcoming Workplace Panic Attacks: Tips and Strategies.

A person who suffers from panic attacks at work and is embarrassed about it should focus on managing their panic attacks by seeking help from a mental health professional. They can choose to disclose their situation to colleagues if they wish, but should first determine if their panic attacks are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act or state equivalent. It is important to have a plan in place in case another panic attack occurs, such as having a code word to alert a supervisor or identifying private spaces to retreat to.
