Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort that trigger severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. They can occur unexpectedly and can significantly disrupt a person's daily life, often leading to ongoing anxiety about experiencing another attack. The experience can be so overwhelming that it may result in individuals avoiding situations or places where they fear an attack might occur, contributing to the development of anxiety disorders.
