What Causes Recurrent Panic Attacks?

hello & yes, i d like to know, do psychiatrists order specialized blood analysis in order to identify potential biochemical triggers for repeated panic attacks, rather than the alphabet soup approach of trying all manner of pills to find something that works. Are mono oxidase inhibiters still used ?

Hello
there are no blood tests to diagnose and confirm panic disorder. MAO inhibitors are rarely used these days.
All the best.
