Sudden fear that feels like a storm in your body? You may be experiencing panic disorder.

Panic disorder is a condition where intense fear or anxiety strikes without warning—even when there’s no real danger. These episodes, called panic attacks, can feel overwhelming and frightening. Some people have several attacks in a month, while others live in fear of the next one happening.

Even though panic attacks aren’t life-threatening, they can feel like a heart attack or losing control. The good news is: panic disorder is treatable, and you don’t have to face it alone.
