A lot of people think that panic attacks and anxiety attacks are the same thing. They’re different conditions though.
Panic attacks come on suddenly and involve intense and often overwhelming fear. They’re accompanied by frightening physical symptoms, such as a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, or nausea.
The latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) recognizes panic attacks, and categorizes them as unexpected or expected.
Unexpected panic attacks occur without an obvious cause. Expected panic attacks are cued by external stressors, such as phobias. Panic attacks can happen to anyone, but having more than one may be a sign of panic disorder.
Anxiety attacks aren’t recognized in the DSM-5. The DSM-5 does, however, define anxiety as a feature of a number of common psychiatric disorders. I have made a video on types of anxiety disorder, link is in the description.
Symptoms of anxiety include worry, distress, and fear. Anxiety is usually related to the anticipation of a stressful situation, experience, or event. It may come on gradually.
Panic and anxiety attacks may feel similar, and they share a lot of emotional and physical symptoms. Sometimes they occur together. Eg- if a person has social anxiety, then he is someone who would avoid a social situations like parties. But if he is exposed to such a situation he might experience a panic attack.
