The Panic Doctor is a one-stop resource for information, referral, treatment and telephone consultation. It's made to serve you. Dr. Richard C. Raynard draws from his own experience of recovery, and from treating thousands of patients, to guide you to the information you need to free yourself from anxiety and panic.

Panic is bewildering.  Symptoms are overwelming and can resemble over 20 physical illnesses. Friends and relatives often just don't get it.  You learn not to talk about it. And, it's hard to find professionals who are experienced treating it. In time, panic can imprison you.

Dr. Richard C. Raynard offers you up-to-date news, information and treatment that can set you free.  He is a clinical psychologist with over 30 years experience in treating individuals with anxiety disorders including phobias, agoraphobia, OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).  His ground-breaking treatments led to the start of successful specialized programs including Upward Bound, the Fear of Flying program held at Boston's Logan International Airport from the 1980's to early 90's, as well as programs for public speaking and driving phobia.

Dr. Raynard has provided training to many professionals, helping them understand how debilitating panic can become, and how effective treatments can be when administered with the right methods and treatment aides.  He has performed extensive research into the causes and treatments of phobia, and has presented before the Phobia Society of America, the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, the Massachusetts Psychological Association and other prestigious national conferences to groups of his peers and professionals.  

Because of his specialization and authority in this field, Dr. Raynard is a popular guest on radio, television and print media, having been a regular guest host on the Paul Benzaquin Show, WBZ Radio, two invitations to appear on Oprah, and dozens of appearances on talk shows such as Good Day, People Are Talking and others.  

Dr. Raynard has authored a national newsletter Phobic Update, as well as two books on panic and phobias; The Consumers Guide to Panic & Anxiety Medications, and his most recent book Panic Free: Breaking out of your prison of panic, now available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Trafford Publishing, and right here on panicdoctor.com.
