How do we put the diagnosis of panic disorder? Which Anxiety Symptoms are required?

Answer:

We say someone suffers from panic disorder when there are:
  • Recurrent unexpected panic attacks (with no specific stimulus)
  • Concern about additional attacks (phobophobia)
  • Worry about implications of attack (loss of control, "going crazy")
  • Change in behaviour related to attacks
We must always be careful to exclude epilepsy and acute intoxication with or withdrawal from alcohol or illicit drugs (amphetamines, cocaine) or even caffeine.
