10/15- This is how your sandbox should look. What changes or additions do you want to make to "panic disorder"? List them in your worklog and leave me any questions. You will also need to look for more sources, probably, or make better use of the source on the page.

10/25- Well, I'm not sure you can get read of "fear of going mad" if it is actually listed in the DSM. I've pasted below the section of the article I think you were referring to in your comments. Is that right? Focus instead on matching what's in the DSM. Check out the talk page for other places you might improve this article. Two weeks left!

The cause of panic disorder is unknown.[3] Panic disorder often runs in families.[3] Risk factors include smoking, psychological stress, and a history of child abuse.[2]

October 6th- panic disorder can stem from many different areas, although there is not one source that it comes from, does not mean the cause is 'unknown'. If this was the case, then every anxiety based disorders cause is unknown, but they aren't. Nataliecourtois (talk) 23:39, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

The DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for panic disorder require unexpected, recurrent panic attacks, followed in at least one instance by at least a month of a significant and related behavior change, a persistent concern of more attacks, or a worry about the attack's consequences. There are two types, one with and one without agoraphobia. Diagnosis is excluded by attacks due to a drug or medical condition, or by panic attacks that are better accounted for by other mental disorders.[57] The ICD-10 diagnostic criteria: The essential feature is recurrent attacks of severe anxiety (panic), which are not restricted to any particular situation or set of circumstances and are therefore unpredictable. The dominant symptoms include:

sudden onset of palpitations chest pain choking sensations dizziness feelings of unreality (depersonalization or derealization) secondary fear of dying, losing control, or going mad

October 20th- get rid of the losing control and going mad because this is not associated with panic disorder. Panic disorder is a feeling of lost self control that you gain back after the panic attack has ended, and going mad is also not associated with this disorder. I would rather associate this with schizophrenia. Nataliecourtois (talk) 23:39, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

The ICD-10 diagnostic criteria:

The essential feature is recurrent attacks of severe anxiety (panic), which are not restricted to any particular situation or set of circumstances and are therefore unpredictable.

The dominant symptoms include:


 * sudden onset of palpitations
 * chest pain
 * choking sensations
 * dizziness
 * feelings of unreality (depersonalization or derealization)
 * secondary fear of dying, losing control, going mad

Panic disorder should not be given as the main diagnosis if the person has a depressive disorder at the time the attacks start; in these circumstances, the panic attacks are probably secondary to depression.

The Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS) is a questionnaire for measuring the severity of panic disorder.
