Panic disorder involves frequent and debilitating anxiety and fear, often without reasonable cause.

Symptoms

• Sudden and repeated attacks of anxiety and overwhelming fear that last for several minutes
• Fear of disaster or of losing control even when there is no real danger
• Strong physical reaction during a panic attack that may feel like a heart attack (increased heart rate, sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, blurred vision)
• Frequent avoidance of activities, situations or events that may trigger panic attack
• Fear and physical symptoms lead to clinically significant emotional distress and/or functional impairment
