Hello
Thyroid disorders can be seen frequenlty with anxiety and panic disorders but it is not mandatory.
Many times in clinical practice we see that psychiatric disorders are accomapnied by all normal blood test reports. So, normal thyroid and other blood tests are not against any kind of psychiatric diagnosis.
Treatment of panic attacks should be done and it does get better.
Hope the reply is useful.
