Panic Disoder


    Panic disorder could be caused by an anxiety to uncomfortable places or situations to an individual. They are spontaneous so no one knows when a victim of panic attacks will have one. For some people not knowing when they are having the next panic attack can be very stressful; therefore, they prefer to stay home and not going out to do normal things. That can really get on the way of their normal life, because they can become isolated and lose friends and family members. A lot of the cases start with people who are under a lot of stress, and that could lead to panic disorders because they do not know how to let all that stress out so they react by panic attacks. The weird part of this disorder is that these victims get panic for no apparent of logical reason they are just scared with something. This can also happen with some physical symptoms such as Fast heartbeat, chest pain, breathing difficulty, shaking, sweating, nausea, and dizziness. Panic attacks are also more common on women than on men. This disorder affects young adults in the late adolescence and it affects about 2.4 million adults Americans. Even though this disorder is not predictable if there is no physical symptoms then patients maybe referred to a mental specialist. Anxiety up to a point it’s good, but not to where you can not control it to the point of having a panic attack.

  1. I did not know much about this disorder before taking this class, but I now understand the severity of it. One of my best friends used to suffer from panic attacks, although she was not diagnosed with the disorder. She also suffered from anxiety and depression.

    She used to have trouble being around large crowds of people if she was alone, and would begin to hyperventilate, sweat, and shake. She could not explain what it was that triggered her response, but it was becoming clear that she was having trouble being alone for large amounts of time.
