What Is Panic Disorder?

Panic disorder is a specific type of anxiety disorder that features frequent panic attacks that generally don’t have a known trigger. These attacks happen without warning and aren’t caused by a physical condition or another mental health condition.

While a single panic attack or even occasional attacks may be concerning, it can be perfectly normal to experience one when facing something stressful. Panic disorder is when panic attacks happen often and unexpectedly, along with behavioral changes that negatively impact your daily life.
