Have you been diagnosed with panic disorder and are wondering how your doctor came to that conclusion? Or maybe you haven’t talked to a health professional yet, but you are sure what you’re experiencing is a panic attack. Or perhaps you know someone with panic disorder and you’d like to learn more about it.
Learning the basics of panic disorder can help you better understand the condition and those who have panic disorder:
Panic Disorder is an Anxiety Disorder
Panic disorder is one of several anxiety disorders. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), anxiety disorders are the most common of all psychiatric disorders. In the United States alone, 40 million people suffer from anxiety disorders.

* social anxiety disorder
* obsessive-compulsive disorder
* post-traumatic stress disorder
* specific phobias
Symptoms of Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is marked by recurrent, spontaneous panic attacks. A panic attack is an intense period of fear or discomfort. During the attack, a person may experience several uncomfortable symptoms. See What Are the Symptoms of Panic Disorder? for a complete list.
To be a diagnosed panic attack, four or more symptoms should be present. Otherwise, the attack is described as a “limited symptom attack.” Those who experience panic attacks usually describe them as occurring “out of the blue.”
Diagnosing Panic Disorder
One panic attack does not result in a diagnosis of panic disorder. In fact, many people experience a panic attack at some time in their lives. While the experience may be a bit disconcerting, it doesn’t result in panic disorder.
To become panic disorder, the initial panic attack will be followed by at least a month of one or more of the following:
* Constant worry about having another panic attack
* Constant worry about the cause of the attack (ex: heart attack)
* Major behavioral change related to the panic attack
In addition, it should be determined that the panic attacks are not the result of:
* A substance (drug abuse, medication)
* A physiological condition (such as hyperthyroidism)
* Another psychiatric disorder (particularly other anxiety disorders)
In other words, it’s important to have a complete physical to rule out all possible causes, and it’s important to find a mental health provider who specializes in anxiety disorders to rule out other possible diagnoses.
The Importance of Panic Disorder Treatment
Many researchers believe panic disorder to be a chronic condition. Indeed, for many, the severity of panic disorder seems to fluctuate over time.
The chronic nature of panic disorder emphasizes the need for early and appropriate treatment. The NIMH notes that a combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy works the best for the most people. Individual needs, however, vary, so the person with panic disorder and the treatment provider should be willing to keep trying different approaches until the most effective treatment is found.
If untreated, panic disorder often becomes more and more disabling. The initial panic attack is followed by chronic worry and, usually, more attacks. Many people begin to avoid places and situations where they’ve had panic attacks. This can lead to another disabling condition called agoraphobia. As their lives become more limited, some people become depressed. Others turn to alcohol or drugs to self-medicate and ease the symptoms. Relationships and jobs may be severely affected. These terrible possibilities may be avoided, however, with quick and proper treatment.
Self-Diagnosis of Panic Disorder
Self-diagnosis may help you talk more clearly about your problems with your treatment provider. Sometimes it’s difficult to put those intense symptoms into words. Reading about panic disorder may help. On the other hand, self-diagnosis should not be a substitute for professional diagnosis. As mentioned above, panic attacks may indicate physiological problems. And panic attacks may also appear with other anxiety disorders. It is important to discuss your concerns with a professional and to have all possible problems ruled out first.

i was depressed so i drank alot of coffe to get out of it someday and after that i felt like my brain going crazy and i didn’t know who i am and i felt im going to get out of my body and vanish forever and never get back and since then everytime i sleep i feel like im going to another world and i know there’s no hope to get back and then i wake up and feels like my brain is going to blow from my thoughts and after some minutes my brain get back to be depressed

I used to have such a panic disorder problem. Rather, I spent months worrying about when I would have my next one. I developed fears about words that might give me a panic attack, places in my house that might give me one, and thoughts. I still have them, but I focus on a mantra that I came up with that gives me the tiniest amount of hope. But, believe, even the tiniest amount of hope in a panic attack is enough to get you through.
I believe you can’t …
I believe you can’t even come close to understanding the reality of a panic attack without having had one yourself. The detachment from reality and the irrational thoughts your mind can produce together with the massive overdose of adrenaline creates a state of mind where you are stripped of everything you take for granted. Imagine your worst nightmare and then add the knowledge that you can’t wake up from it, and you are close

When ever I have a panic attack I talk to God in my head asking him to please help me and after a minute or so it stops and I can go on..when I was young I had panic attacks about like the end of the world and I used to think what if God doesn’t come and he isin’t real I start to feel very cold and my pounds hard and fast then I feel like I’m shaking when I’m not or I may be and I have to talk to some one when I have them like my mother. But when I have them I feel like I’m distant from him.
Your assumptions of …
Your assumptions of God and Religion as a crutch of some sort are way off. And if a relationship with God is a possible solution to a problem then good! I don’t have a religious agenda of any sort. Far from it. But if people speak of God or a god in thier comments it is because they have probably experienced something good and want to share it with people. Thats all.
They want to help others thru their suffering.
Ok…just watching …
Ok…just watching this…listen to that droning voice give me a panic attack… seriously…
God and religion …
God and religion are only created to attempt to fill the void of not being able to understand the answer to some aspect of life.
Having said that, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO ARGUE RELIGIOUS VIEWS. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN, AND IT SHOULD BE KEPT TO YOURSELF, ESPECIALLY ON A VIDEO THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WITH RELIGION

Why so much ignorance and hate for God? If he created the universe, he can do ANYTHING! he doesnt do it because he is NOT a puppet NOR a charm subject to our stupid selfish requests. If God is in you and me and trees and everything, then there’s no God! I have a much better life than you, more money, more friends, a wife , when God talks to you, he does it to your soul, not to your ears, when you put sugar in your drink, you dont see it, but you know is there, God cure my panic attacks.
