Hi ,
We have to ask few questions about your daughter's condition to have more understanding (every individual is unique as you know) .When did she start to develop panic attack , just recently?
How severe the panic attack is ? What is the frequency ?
Is it associated with any avoidance (completely avoiding the situation which is triggering-exams in this case) , any anticipatory anxiety ? (anxious about getting another panic attack ).....
How long it exists if it occurs? ......etc
I think if the severity (and the frequency) is less , she could continue seeing the psychologist and ask the psychologist to start specific therapy for panic attacks(CBT , breathing techniques etc) . If the psychologist thinks the severity is up to the extent she needs medications, I am pretty sure that the psychologist will recommend a psychiatrist's consultation. Hope the answer was helpful
