What Is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. These attacks are sudden periods of intense fear that may include palpitations, pounding heart, sweating, shaking, and a feeling of impending doom. A key feature of the disorder is the persistent concern or worry about having additional panic attacks or their consequences, which often leads to significant behavioral changes.
