Panic Disorder

What is panic disorder?

Individuals with panic disorder experience intense anxiety episodes that are often accompanied by really uncomfortable physiological sensations. The individual may believe that they are having a heart attack, are dying, will pass out, are going to lose control of bladder or bowels, or feeling like they will “go crazy.” In fact, people often discover they have panic disorder after going to the doctor repeatedly or to the emergency department.
