Panic attacks are characterized by feelings of fear, dread, and uncomfortable physical symptoms.
Attacks are not classified as mental health disorders in and of themselves, rather they are classified as a set of symptoms that occur in the context of other mental disorders.
Panic attacks are classified into two types: expected and unexpected. Here's what you need to know about each one.
Regardless of the options someone chooses, it's important to get help for panic and anxiety.
