Q How often do I need to visit Dongjedang for panic disorder treatment?
A During the first month, visits every two weeks are recommended; after stabilization, monthly visits are sufficient, with acupuncture sessions one to two times per week.
Detailed Answer
For Korean medicine treatment of panic disorder, close observation of treatment response is especially important in the early phase. During the first month, patients return every two weeks so that symptom changes (attack frequency, intensity, and anticipatory anxiety) can be reviewed and the prescription adjusted. To maximize the autonomic stabilizing effect of acupuncture, sessions begin at one to two times per week, then taper to once every two weeks after stabilization. When acute attacks are severe, weekly visits in the first two weeks are recommended.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, patients are encouraged to keep a panic diary (recording date, situation, and duration of each attack) from the first visit. The diary is reviewed together at every appointment to identify trigger patterns and refine the treatment direction. Our clinic is conveniently located near Dong-incheon Station in Dong-gu, Incheon, making after-work visits easy — online booking minimizes wait times.
