Anxiety, Panic and OCD Assessment in Lahore
Anxiety becomes a health problem when worry, fear or panic is frequent, hard to control and starts to limit daily life. This branch covers generalised anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Zafar assesses what triggers your symptoms, how long they have lasted, any physical health factors and how they affect you. Treatment is tailored to the diagnosis and may include psychological therapy, carefully chosen medication or both, with follow-up to check that the plan is working.
How consultations work
Consultations with Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Zafar take place in person in Lahore or through a secure video call when clinically appropriate. The first appointment is a full assessment and is longer than a follow-up. Please bring a list of your current medicines and any previous reports.
Frequently asked questions
Are panic attacks dangerous?
They feel frightening but are not usually harmful. New chest pain or breathlessness should still be checked medically.
Can anxiety be treated without medication?
Often yes. Psychological therapy is effective for many anxiety problems; medication is an option, not a requirement.
Is OCD the same as being very tidy?
No. OCD involves distressing intrusive thoughts and repeated actions that are hard to resist and take up significant time.
