Experts aren't sure why, but women seem to be twice as likely to be diagnosed with panic disorder as men.

What Does a Panic Attack Feel Like?
Panic attacks often come on suddenly, involving intense fear and physical symptoms. Some people may mistake it for a heart attack, as chest pain can be a symptom.

In addition to panic disorder, panic attacks are common in other anxiety disorders, such as PTSD and social anxiety disorder.


Panic Disorder FAQs
Whether you suspect you have panic disorder, have already been diagnosed, or just know someone who suffers from it, you probably have a lot of questions. How is this caused? Is there a cure? Who can help me?

Why Panic Disorder Sufferers Aren't Overreacting
If you don't have panic disorder yourself, it can be easy to fall into thinking that someone with the condition should just "get over" their fears.

Dos and Don'ts for Family & Friends
If a loved one is suffering from panic disorder, it can be difficult to know how to best help them (particularly during a panic attack). But a good support system is important for recovery.
