Panic Disorder: A type of anxiety disorder characterized by unexpected panic attacks that last minutes or, rarely, hours. Panic attacks begin with intense apprehension, fear or terror and, often, a feeling of impending doom. Symptoms experienced during a panic attack include dyspnea or sensations of being smothered; dizziness, loss of balance or faintness; choking sensations; palpitations or accelerated heart rate; shakiness; sweating; nausea or other form of abdominal distress; depersonalization or derealization; paresthesias; hot flashes or chills; chest discomfort or pain; fear of dying and fear of not being in control of oneself or going crazy. Agoraphobia may also develop. Similar to other anxiety disorders, it may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" With regard to experimentally evoked panic attacks in patients with panic disorder and healthy controls, recent investigations demonstrated that enhancing endogenous GABA through the blockade of the GABA transaminase by vigabatrin or inhibition of GABA transporters by tiagabine may exert anxiolytic effects."4.82[Significance of GABAA receptors for the pathophysiology and therapy of panic disorders].
