panic attack

Examples of panic attack in the following topics:

  • A panic attack is a sudden period of intense anxiety; if these attacks occur often, they may indicate a panic disorder.
  • People with panic disorder experience recurrent (more than one) and unexpected panic attacks, along with at least one month of persistent concern about additional panic attacks, worry over the consequences of the attacks, or self-defeating changes in behavior related to the attacks (such as withdrawing from social activities out of fear of having an attack) (APA, 2013).
  • People with panic disorder may become so afraid of having panic attacks that they experience what are known as anticipatory attacks—essentially panicking about potential panic attacks and entering a cycle of living in fear of fear.
  • In order to be diagnosed with panic disorder, a person must experience unexpected, recurrent panic attacks.
