Personnel Training
Published in Kevin L. Erskine, Erica J. Armstrong, Water-Related Death Investigation, 2021
The Webster’s Dictionary defines panic as “sudden, uncontrollable fear or anxiety, often causing wildly unthinking behavior.” Divers who routinely train for the unexpected situation will react to problems underwater with a much calmer, systematic approach to resolve the problem. Therefore, any training that one can do to prepare for these problems will result in a safer, more confident diver. Here are some panic-related training exercises that divers can do to help them remain calm when problems arise.
Panic Disorder (PD)
Published in Judy Z. Koenigsberg, Anxiety Disorders, 2020
This section on clinical practice applications presents treatment models that demonstrate the use of integrated and unified approaches for panic disorder and discusses the relationship between the etiology of panic disorder and its integrated and unified treatment. Although psychodynamic psychotherapy is possibly as effective for treating individuals with panic disorder as is cognitive-behavioral therapy (Leichsenring, Leweke, Klein, & Steinert, 2015), individuals with panic disorder with less emotional awareness did not benefit much from either monotherapy, e.g., psychodynamic therapy or cognitive-behavioral therapy (Beutel et al., 2013). Integrative and unified treatments that address the key issues and emotional components of panic disorder are proposed to treat panic disorder.

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a serious illness that can negatively affect people’s emotions, thought processes and actions. According to the World Health Organization, many people who are depressed require help. Anxiety is a disorder that may be characterized by sudden panic attacks leading to fear for unwarranted reasons or episodes of panic characterized by excessive, uncontrolled and irritable worrying [1]. Another study defined anxiety as stress characterized by irritability, nervous tension, difficulty relaxing and agitation [2]. The relationship between depressive disorders and anxiety disorders is a problem that some researchers have debated [3]. The overlapping symptoms of depression and anxiety associated with the disorder make its diagnosis, research and treatment difficult [3]. These overlapping symptoms can result in depression and anxiety being seen as different conditions, whereas the two symptoms often coexist in the same patient at various levels [3].

Panic disorder is a debilitating psychiatric disorder characterized by unexpected panic attacks that have rapid onset and are short in duration (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). To meet criteria for panic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), individuals are required to have 4 of 13 symptoms, which can include fast heartbeat, shaking, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, and fear of dying. After experiencing a panic attack, an individual may worry about its re-occurrence or avoid situations they feel may result in another panic attack (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Findings from national epidemiological studies indicate 2.1% of American adults endorse past 12-month panic disorder and 5.1% endorse lifetime panic disorder (Hasin & Grant, 2015). Although these rates of panic disorder may appear modest, they translate into a significant economic and societal burden. Panic and other anxiety disorders cost the United States as much as $46.6 billion per year (Devane et al., 2005; Greenberg et al., 1999) with panic disorder ranking as one of the costliest psychiatric conditions (Batelaan et al., 2007). Panic disorder also confers significant costs in terms of annual emergency room visits, as those with panic attacks commonly seek general medical care as opposed to psychiatric care due to the disorder being undiagnosed and symptoms mistaken for heart-related issues (Lynch & Galbraith, 2003).

When parent’s needs for follow-up support were not met, they once again returned to the PED or their child’s GP for guidance. Inconsistencies in the care and information they were provided with led to feelings of disappointment and anger toward the healthcare system in general: I’ve had absolutely no knowledge about what to do with her, how to get her better, what options are out there…. So, I’ve just been left with getting told different things basically but not really any follow up other than the physical side of things…. I go to the hospital (again) and he says, well, just send her to school in this state. So, to me, it’s like okay, well, that doesn’t help me because what am I supposed to do about the panic attacks?.
