Well before the panic attacks that year was as she said it was "hell" she divorced Miles, mama died, she did not make partner, the car accident almost killing her whole family, leaving Greene and Norris, Damon cheated on her causing their breakup. It was alot on her shoulders in a years time so the panic attacks were bound to happen. She told Bird who accidently blurted it out in front of Maxine and then she found out.

The panic attacks start in Season 2

She gets rid of them in Season 4 when she sees the therapist who helped her at the restaurant when she had the panic attack while out with Bird & Maxine. He gave her some medication, but she was very reluctant to take it at first. She finally started taking them and the panic attacks stopped (after she has an attack at home and the therapist had to come over, he told her if she didn't take the meds, she could have full-blown panic disorder). I think Brian (or maybe someone else, I could be wrong) asked her if she was still having panic attacks and she said no because she takes her meds everyday.
