Panic Disorder

Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurring severe panic attacks. It may also include significant behavioral change lasting at least a month and of ongoing worry about the implications or concern about having other attacks. The latter are called anticipatory attacks (DSM-IVR). Panic disorder is not the same as agoraphobia, although many with panic disorder also suffer from agoraphobia.

Panic disorder sufferers usually have a series of intense episodes of extreme anxiety during panic attacks. These attacks typically last about ten minutes, but can be as short-lived as 15 minutes and last as long as twenty minutes or until medical intervention. However, attacks can wax and wane for a period of hours (panic attacks rolling into one another), and the intensity and specific symptoms of panic may vary over the duration. Common symptoms of an attack include rapid heartbeat, perspiration, dizziness, dyspnea, trembling, uncontrollable fear, hyperventilation, etc.

OK....if you suffer from any form of panic disorder, do NOT watch this. Uninformative, inaccurate and downright ridiculous.

I agree with dmbfan07cb, the slide showing the enlarged Heart is stupid. It has nothing to do with Anxiety Disorders. No one has ever died from a Panic Attack/Anxiety. Having an Anxiety Disorder DOESN'T enlarge your Heart! Totally different situation, anxiety can cause chest pains, twitching in the chest, warm feelings, tingling, hyperventilate, breathlessness etc. These are ALL normal symptoms of Anxiety/Panic Disorder. Don't let it scare you!
