📋Overview
Panic disorder is a recognized anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort accompanied by physical and cognitive symptoms. It is distinct from occasional panic attacks that may occur in other contexts. Panic disorder often includes persistent concern about having additional attacks or their consequences, leading to behavioral changes. The term 'panic disorder' is the current standard diagnostic label in psychiatric classifications.
