Panic Disorder

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

Panic disorder involves recurrent unexpected panic attacks and persistent worry about further attacks.

Show

A first attack in a supermarket is followed by months of avoiding supermarkets.

Watch for

A panic attack is not itself a disorder. Recurrence plus anticipatory worry is what defines the diagnosis.
