"If you have Panic Disorder, you know what it"s like to be caught off guard by an overwhelming sense of dread or terror. You"ve experienced the terrifying physical symptoms: lightheadedness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, perspiration, blurred or distorted vision, or feeling a detachment from reality. The fear of experiencing those symptoms again can leave you on edge or force you to change your life to avoid possible triggering situations.
Panic disorder is characterized by the unexpected occurrence of panic attacks followed by at least one month of persistent worry about additional panic attacks and/or significant change in maladaptive behavior related to those attacks.
