emol Inc., a developer of therapeutic apps for mental illness, has released a free app titled "Fuasil-P: Let's Overcome Panic," aimed at raising awareness about panic disorder, in collaboration with Toshiki Shioiri, Professor Emeritus at Gifu University. Panic disorder is characterized by panic attacks accompanied by sudden palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and sweating, followed by anticipatory anxiety and avoidance behaviors. While it can significantly disrupt daily life, a lack of understanding about the disorder can delay seeking medical advice or consultation. "Fuasil-P" was developed with the goal of helping users learn about panic disorder in an easy-to-understand way and encouraging the first step toward consultation and treatment. Within the app, users can learn about the symptoms and mechanisms of panic disorder through chat-style conversations with characters, videos, and skill training. It is available for free on both iPhone and Android. This app is not intended to perform medical acts such as diagnosis or treatment, but rather to help users learn about the disorder. Supervisor Toshiki Shioiri commented, "I hope this will be an opportunity for those suffering and their families not to bear the symptoms alone, but to connect to necessary consultation and treatment." emol will continue to work with medical institutions, schools, and workplaces to create an environment where those struggling can access information and support at an early stage.
