What Is Panic Disorder?
Panic disorder involves more than just panic attacks; it is diagnosed when recurrent attacks are followed by at least one month of persistent worry about having more episodes or their consequences. This often leads to significant behavioral changes, such as avoiding places or situations where previous attacks have occurred, which can severely limit a person’s life.
Common Symptoms of Panic Attacks
-
Sudden and intense feelings of terror or dread.
-
Rapid heart rate, palpitations, or chest pain.
-
Shortness of breath or a sensation of choking.
-
Dizziness, trembling, sweating, or chills.
-
Fear of losing control, a sense of impending doom, or detachment from reality.
Understanding the Causes
The exact causes of panic disorder are not fully understood, but a combination of factors is believed to play a role. These can include a family history of anxiety or panic disorders, significant life stress, trauma, and certain temperaments that are more sensitive to stress. Imbalances in brain chemistry and how the body responds to fear may also be contributing factors.
