Anxiety is a common and often debilitating mental health condition that affects many people.
While it’s normal to experience occasional anxiety, persistent and intense feelings of worry can interfere with daily life.
Panic disorder, a specific type of anxiety disorder, involves recurring and unexpected panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear that may include physical symptoms like heart palpitations, sweating, and shortness of breath.
