Panic disorder

[Magical Realist]

"Panic disorder affects about 2.4 million adult Americans. Panic disorder most often begins during late adolescence and early adulthood. It is twice as common in women as in men."====http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide...c-disorder

I don't have this disorder that I know of, but I attend a weekly meet-up with members who do have it. I was totally unaware of it. It was described by one as the absolute terror of seeing a bus coming right at you, only it lasting for like 30 minutes for no reason at all. I asked if panic attacks are thought related, and they seem to be so for some while not so for others. There appears to be no known cure for it, though antidepressants help some. So the next time you see someone reacting strangely, hyperactive and wideeyed and hyperventilating, just know that this condition exists. and have some empathy.
