When a person jogging through the bushes encounters a poisonous snake or some other dangerous animal, their normal move would be to scream and to get away from the beast as quickly as possible.
When the same feelings of fear and horror come along without any valid reasons and if they occur in a very secure surroundings (while jogging on the beach or enjoying a football game at the local stadium) you do not have to be a doctor to conclude that something is not right with your health. Experiencing more than one of such episodes in relatively short period of time (a few days or weeks) could be an indication that the person has developed panic disorder.
At the very early stages the victims become extremely scared and confused. The non psychological signs of panic disorder which can include palpitations, nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, excessive sweating, jelly legs etc. make the sufferer to ensure themselves that something entirely different is happening inside their bodies. People usually ask for help at the wrong places. They go to a whole army of various medical practitioners undergoing numerous checks and tests because they are sure that the problem is with their heart, lungs, blood pressure and so on. The mental health expert is usually last on their list to visit.
During the panic attack victims could believe that they have some kind of the life threatening disease, they are going to faint on the spot, going crazy or to lose their mind. Panic attack can occur every time when the victims find themselves in a specific situation or it can just happen without a clear reason regardless of the circumstances. A decent number of individuals suffering from panic disorder sometimes develop agoraphobia (fright of wide-open or jammed surroundings from which in a case of panic attack would be hard to run away or to seek and obtain help.)
Panic attacks can even occur during the sleep. Hottish weather also has an affect on panic disorder because victims experience more panic attacks during the warm summer months. The main reasons for this are that hot weather accelerates heart beats, causes dizziness and dehydration. Also, during these months people are more likely to spend their time outdoors so there is a much higher prospect of running into unfamiliar and dreadful situations and surroundings.
Despite the fact that the real causes of panic disorder are not known, some studies have shown that certain kinds of people are more likely to suffer of this disorder than the rest. This group includes people who are timid by nature and who tend is to be worried and over concerned about every aspect of their lives. They constantly question their own abilities and are never certain whether they are good enough to finish their goals and responsibilities. The signs of their instability and fears are usually noticeable from their early childhood (blushing, sweaty palms, palpitations, feeling uncomfortable in front of older, unknown people or when confronted by authorities.) Those kids spend a lot of time daydreaming and imagining things and have no agonistic spirit and behavior. While sleeping they can also experience nightmares and have accidents with bed wetting. Their perception of other people is kind of naive because they cannot see the hidden intentions of mean people. Even after constant and countles disappointments they do not change their act.
It is essential to point out that panic disorder is very common medical condition in our society. Although people who show some of the previously mentioned symptoms in their childhood have a higher chance of being affected by panic disorder in their adulthood, not everyone will. On the other hand, some very confident persons who are energetic and have no obvious obstacles in their lives might be hit by this disorder without any warnings or a reasonable explanation.
