Hi MindfulMentor, I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with panic attacks. There are indeed some fantastic apps that can help you manage them. Here are a few that I recommend: 1. Breathe2Relax: This app teaches you diaphragmatic breathing, which can help reduce symptoms of panic. 2. Self-Help for Anxiety Management (SAM): SAM offers a range of self-help techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) exercises and a 'Anxiety Toolkit' for quick relief during a panic attack. 3. Headspace: While not specifically designed for panic attacks, this app offers mindfulness and meditation exercises that can help reduce anxiety and stress. Hope that helps! Best, admin

Hi, Just a quick note to say that while apps can be a great tool for managing panic attacks, they should not be used as a replacement for professional help. If you're struggling with panic attacks, it's important to speak with a mental health professional who can provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Apps can be a helpful addition to your treatment plan, but they should not be your only source of support. Take care, admin
