City life poses major psychological difficulties. As the global job market grows more competitive, professionals are increasingly prone to chronic stress and anxiety—conditions that frequently lead to a range of physiological health problems, particularly panic disorders. Recent data indicates that these episodes are no longer limited to particular demographic groups or high-stress industries; instead, they have emerged as a widespread cross-sectoral issue impacting various age groups. In recent years, numerous celebrities and public figures have openly discussed it, sharing their personal stories. Actor Karan Tacker recently spoke about panic attacks, emphasizing that they are short-lived and not dangerous to life. At the We Are Yuva event hosted by Nikhil Taneja, Tacker revealed his “biggest” lesson from his experience. “Panic attacks can make you feel like you’re dying,” the actor said, adding, “You can’t actually die from it.” The greatest fear during a panic attack is something like, “Aaj toh main gaya—this is it.” DISCLAIMER: This article draws from publicly available information and/or insights from experts we consulted.
