What is panic disorder?

Panic disorder is the term used to describe when panic attacks are recurrent and disabling. Panic disorder can be characterised by:

The presence of recurring and unexpected (‘out of the blue’) panic attacks.

Worrying for at least a month after having a panic attack that you will have another one.

Worrying about the implications or consequences of a panic attack (such as thinking that the panic attack is a sign of an undiagnosed medical problem). For example, some people have repeated medical tests due to these worries and, despite reassurance, still have fears of being unwell.

Significant changes in behaviour that relate to the panic attacks .

If I had panic disorder I certainly wouldn't be having kids. The children would have to be locked in a box for their entire life with only water and carrot sticks to feast on. No technology -- this harms the child's mind. No friends -- they can lead them astray. No toys -- can also harm the child's mind. No going outside -- a paedophile/serial killer/terrorist/drunk/crackhead might harm them.
