Do you suffer from a panic disorder?

For those who have experienced a panic attack, the moment is not something they'll soon forget. I remember freaking out at a restaurant in London once. I had no reason to panic about anything but suddenly my heart started to pound, my vision got blurry and I was so afraid that people would notice that I felt like I had to get out of there, fast!

It is normal to feel a fight or flight response when in a dangerous situation. During a panic attack, all of the same responses occur, such as elevated heart rate, sweating and increased blood flow to the limbs, but often for no reason at all. When these attacks occur often, you could be dealing with a panic disorder.

Take a look here for lots of information on the condition including a definition, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
