What is Panic Disorder?
In general, Panic Disorder is a feeling of dying or losing control. Symptoms such as heart pounding, shaking, breathing difficulty, and extreme fear can occur without any warning and can last for minutes or hours. Symptoms can also include chest pains, choking, abdominal pain (nausea), dizziness, dread, sweating and a desire to flee. Some panic attacks are not precipitated by anything noticeable, and others might be triggered by individual situations such as being in a crowd or even becoming over stressed. (For more information on symptoms and diagnosis, see the DSM-IV).
