Panic attacks are short episodes of anxiety causing physical fear. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, racing heartbeat, dizziness, trembling, and muscle tension.
These individuals often struggle to navigate daily activities and may stay home due to fear of future attacks.
They often isolate themselves and avoid socializing, fearing they may become anxious. Worst-case scenarios and downward spirals are common; they fear being laughed at and judged.
Each symptom of a panic attack can lead to a full-blown panic attack, causing them to feel anxious for hours.
