Panic attacks are usually hereditary. It doesn't evidence itself until a traumatic event "trips the switch." Panic attacks don't necessarily mean one is depressed. It's a very specific form of anxiety. There are clinics that address panic attacks. I know there is one running out of a hospital in Westchester, New York. The treatment requires gradual exposure and desensitization to the situation that brings out the panic attack. It is supposedly very treatable with a fairly short-term program
