hello there, I can understand your pain and suffering you go through because of anxiety and panic attacks. Panic attacks are very commonly seen in persons suffering from anxiety disorder. Coming to your questions, yes anxiety disorder can be cured but you have to take medicines for long period of time and you can get anxiety free life back. Pharmacotherapy always help with anxiety disorder. If you put your case for me, I would start you on SSRI group of drugs preferably paroxetine with tablet clonazepam during acute panic attack and for sleep. You also require relaxation therapy and cognitive therapy for augmentation. I hope the answer helps. All the best.
