Children and adolescents with panic disorder have unexpected and repeated periods of intense fear or discomfort, along with other symptoms such as a racing heartbeat or feeling short of breath. These periods are called "panic attacks" and last minutes to hours. Panic attacks frequently develop without warning. Symptoms of a panic attack include: Intense fearfulness (a sense that something terrible is happening); Racing or pounding heartbeat; Dizziness or lightheadedness; Shortness of breath or a feeling of smothering; Trembling or shaking; Sense of unreality; Fear of dying, losing control, or going crazy. More than 3 million Americans will experience panic disorder during their lifetime. Panic disorder often begins during adolescence, although it may start during childhood, and sometimes runs in families. If not recognized and treated, panic disorder and its complications can be devastating. Panic attacks can interfere with a child's or adolescent's relationships, schoolwork, and normal development. Children and adolescents with panic disorder may begin to feel anxious most of the time, even when they are not having panic attacks. Some begin to avoid situations where they fear a panic attack may occur, or situations where help may not be available. For example, a child may be reluctant to go to school or be separated from his or her parents.

var sec = "learn_nav"; Overview What Does It Feel Like? How Common Is Panic Disorder? Overview What it is : People with Panic Disorder experience repeated unexpected episodes of intense fear. These episodes, called panic attacks, occur without warning and in the absence of any external threats. Panic attacks can occur as often as several times a week or even per day, causing significant distress. People with panic disorder can develop an intense fear of having another attack and refuse to leave their homes (agoraphobia).( How it's diagnosed : Doctors use a set of guidelines to help determine whether you have panic disorder. They want to know if, one month after a panic attack, you have persistent concern about having another attack, you worry about the consequence or implications of panic attacks or you show significant behavioral change related to the attacks. Doctors want to ensure the attacks do not result from substance abuse or a medical condition. They also want to make sure the attacks are not caused by a different anxiety disorder.( How it's treated : Treatment can involve taking medications, psychotherapy (talk therapy) or both. It is likely you will need ongoing treatment to prevent the symptoms of panic disorder from recurring.

In fact, the President and the U.S. Congress have declared the 1990s the Decade of the Brain. In addition to supporting intensified research on brain disorders, the Federal Government is working to bring information about these conditions to the people who need it. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Federal agency responsible for conducting and supporting research related to mental disorders, mental health, and the brain, is conducting a nationwide education program on panic disorder. The program's purpose is to educate the public and health care professionals about the disorder and encourage people with it to obtain effective treatments. WHAT IS PANIC DISORDER?

Anxiety Screening Quiz General Overview on Anxiety Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatment ... DSM Codes for Anxiety Disorders Panic Disorder SYMPTOMS People with panic disorder have feelings of terror that strike suddenly and repeatedly with no warning. They can't predict when an attack will occur, and many develop intense anxiety between episodes, worrying when and where the next one will strike. In between times there is a persistent, lingering worry that another attack could come any minute. When a panic attack strikes, most likely your heart pounds and you may feel sweaty, weak, faint, or dizzy. Your hands may tingle or feel numb, and you might feel flushed or chilled. You may have chest pain or smothering sensations, a sense of unreality, or fear of impending doom or loss of control. You may genuinely believe you're having a heart attack or stroke, losing your mind, or on the verge of death. Attacks can occur any time, even during nondream sleep. While most attacks average a couple of minutes, occasionally they can go on for up to 10 minutes. In rare cases, they may last an hour or more. Panic disorder strikes between 3 and 6 million Americans, and is twice as common in women as in men. It can appear at any agein children or in the elderlybut most often it begins in young adults. Not everyone who experiences panic attacks will develop panic disorder for example, many people have one attack but never have another. For those who do have panic disorder, though, it's important to seek treatment. Untreated, the disorder can become very disabling.
