Using the DSM-IV-TR as a guide, this program defines panic attack and agoraphobia and explains how both fit in to a larger diagnosis of panic disorder. The video provides detailed information on the symptoms of panic attacks along with ways to distinguish attacks from ordinary stress or a medical condition.
