Product Description
Panic disorder is characterised by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness or abdominal distress. These sensations often mimic symptoms of a heart attack or other life-threatening medical conditions. As a result, the diagnosis of panic disorder is frequently not made until extensive and costly medical procedures fail to provide a correct diagnosis or relief. Many people with panic disorder develop intense anxiety between episodes. It is not unusual for a person with panic disorder to develop phobias about places or situations where panic attacks have occurred, such as in supermarkets or other everyday situations. As the frequency of panic attacks increases, the person often begins to avoid situations where they fear another attack may occur or where help would not be immediately available. This avoidance may eventually develop into agoraphobia, an inability to go beyond known and safe surroundings because of intense fear and anxiety. This new book brings together leading research in the field from throughout the world. ... Read more

Very Interesting
This book is great for people who already know what panic disorder is; it does not say a lot about the diagnostic criteria for it. It does, however, give a great deal of information about treating panic disorder by itself, with comorbid conditions, in different populations, ect. It was very easy to understand and written in a way that keeps readers' attention. I would highly recommend this book!
