A panic attack is a single experience. Your symptoms act the fool and you deal with it. A panic disorder is multiple unpredictable attacks that can occur during the day, week or month AND you worry when the next one will come.
And they will. They are stinky like that. In this episode, a
description of what is a panic disorder, the symptoms and the
treatment options.

Panic Disorder Information
From the U.S, National Institute of Mental
Health has a page about Panic Disorders. It appears that the

the current administration (it could happen).
