Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cognitive models of panic disorder suggest that panic attacks are caused by catastrophic misinterpretations of bodily sensations, such as heart palpitations, dizziness, or light-headedness. This leads to a cycle of increased anxiety and avoidance behaviors, which can perpetuate the disorder. OCD, PTSD, and neurosis may involve anxiety or other symptoms, but they are not specifically characterized by panic attacks and catastrophic misinterpretations of bodily sensations.
