Panic Disorder Novel Treatment: Freespira, with Dr. Robert Cuyler

In this podcast, host Dr. Bassi discusses with Dr. Rob Cuyler, the Chief Clinical Officer at FreeSpira, about the impact of this FDA-approved digital therapeutic treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and panic disorder. Freespira uses regulated breathing patterns to alleviate symptoms associated with these disorders. The treatment involves using a simple device at home for 17-minutes, twice a day over four weeks. By measuring and improving the patient's exhaled CO2 levels and respiratory rate, it helps regulate their physiology and manage stress reactions. The episode also explores the development and research behind Freespira, how it helps patients manage their symptoms, and its potential limitations and future developments.
