Panic Disorder: An experience in which someone regularly finds their life interrupted by anxiety and panic attacks. This anxiety disorder is the least common of the group, and is only diagnosable by the amount of panic attacks a person experiences on a weekly level. A panic attack is when a person goes into fight of flight over a trigger that is either conscious or unconscious. The panic attack lengths and symptoms vary between individuals but are consistent with high anxiety levels, heart rate, trouble breathing, stomach problems, and possible episodes of crying. Some optional symptoms would be perhaps going nonverbal, or finding yourself either freezing up, or alternatively moving more than usual in a frantic manner. Some common triggers for panic attacks include, tight spaces that could trigger claustrophobia, social situations that could trigger SAD/Social Phobia, every day tasks that could trigger GAD, flashbacks to traumatic events, paranoia, dreams that either consciously or unconsciously contribute to the following, and so on.
