Panic Disorder/Panic Attack FAQs
What is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is a form of anxiety disorder characterized by frequent and sudden episodes of intense panic or fear. Individuals with this disorder experience unexpected panic attacks, which are abrupt surges of fear or discomfort. These episodes can mimic the symptoms of a heart attack, including shaking and a rapid heartbeat. Panic disorder typically begins in the late teenage years or early adulthood and is more prevalent in women than men.
To prevent future attacks, individuals might avoid situations that trigger these episodes, such as strenuous exercise or places where previous attacks occurred. However, this avoidance can exacerbate the condition over time.
