What Is Panic Disorder?

Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. While most people experience occasional feelings of anxiety and panic, those with panic disorder experience sudden and intense attacks of fear that can be debilitating.

The causes of panic disorder are not fully understood, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Some people may be more predisposed to developing panic disorder due to a family history of anxiety disorders or a traumatic experience.

  • Sudden and unexpected attacks of intense fear or discomfort that peak within minutes
  • Physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, trembling or shaking, shortness of breath
