Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Panic disorder is characterized by unexpected and repeated panic attacks that are often accompanied by symptoms such as chest pain, heart palpitations, sweating, and feelings of impending doom or loss of control. These attacks are often described as overwhelming or terror-inducing. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder can also involve anxiety and fear, but they do not necessarily involve the same type of sudden and intense panic attacks as panic disorder.
