Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Panic disorder is not characterized by preoccupation with minor daily events. It is primarily characterized by unexpected panic attacks with symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, dizziness, feelings of choking or smothering, and fear of losing control or dying. Panic disorder is often associated with agoraphobia, which is a fear of being in situations where escape may be difficult, such as crowded places or public transportation. The belief that one is going crazy or dying is also common in panic disorder.
