Everyone of us undergoes the moments or the periods of apprehension in our lives, but these are generally associated with some causes that can be easily recognized. On the contrary these panic disorders are differentiated from the others as they occur unanticipated without any reason which cannot be identified. There are people, who for fun say that they experienced a panic attack and in real these attacks can get very stern and devastating while it occurs. They can last for a long time or even for a few minutes.



It is vital to know that anxiety is only a customary reaction that one feels as a mental or a physical threat. If it is a normal anxiety the tension disappears very soon, but if its a panic disorder then there can be no real grounds and nothing can be eliminated. This means that fear can get repeated and cannot be resolved very soon.


There are certain symptoms that are present which delineate a panic attack.

The disorder is well diagnosed only when the above symptoms crop up more than twice and when worries continuously that he will be affected by another attack.


These disorders do not relate to a precise activity. This is the place where individuals tend to use the terminology in the wrong mode.

The disorder can happen without a cause. They are not caused due to any medication or illness. The fear of panic disorder itself makes it difficult to treat.
