What is
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is a condition characterized by sudden and frequent unexpected panic attacks. Between these episodes, individuals often experience persistent and overwhelming fear of another attack, even in the absence of a stressful situation.
A panic attack is an intense episode of anxiety and fear that triggers severe physical reactions without any apparent cause. Common physical symptoms include a rapid heart rate, often described as feeling similar to a heart attack.
Panic disorder is characterized by persistent, excessive anxiety and fear that are disproportionate to the situation, leading to both psychological and physical symptoms. These symptoms often include heart palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and headaches.
