Anxiety
Anxiety has been defined as a feeling of fear, dread, or apprehension that arises without a clear or appropriate real-life justification. Some authorities differentiate anxiety from true fear in that the latter is experienced in response to an actual threat or danger, such as those to one's physical safety. Anxiety, on the other hand, may arise in response to apparently innocuous situations, or may be out of proportion to the actual degree of the external stress. Generally, intense, persistent, or chronic anxiety that is not justified in response to real-life stresses, and that interferes with the individual's functioning, is regarded as a manifestation of mental disorder.
Panic disorder (PD) is a common condition, the cardinal features of which are attacks of unexpected, severe anxiety, accompanied by physical symptoms like palpitations, a choking sensation, tingling, dizziness, and fear of dying or "going crazy".
