Panic
A panic attack is when an intense fear or sense of panic comes over you and it causes a range of different symptoms. It can be very scary and happen suddenly, even for no particular reason. Although very distressing, you’re in no immediate danger when suffering an attack. They usually last from five to 20 minutes before the symptoms ease.

It’s normal to feel panicked every so often. You might fear that you’ve lost something, or forgotten something, and this is completely normal. It’s your body’s natural response to an alarming situation.
But when this feeling becomes particularly intense, occurs frequently or is accompanied by psychological and physical symptoms – this could be a sign of a panic disorder.
Often, it’s a vicious circle – the fear of a situation, or even having a panic attack can cause you to have another one. How often you have one and how severe they are will vary from person to person – it could be a couple of times a year, to a couple of times a week.
