Many people who suffer from Panic Attacks would be surprised to hear that this is a relatively common condition. Some people experience panic, or anxiety attacks once or twice during times of stress, while others have a full blown Panic Disorder, experiencing Panic Attacks a few times a week, or even on a daily basis. A Panic Disorder will be diagnosed if there are at least three Panic Attacks within a three-week period in reaction to situations that are not life threatening and which are not associated with physical exertion.
