Two months ago, Judy had her first panic attack, and it was very severe. She’s been worrying about having another one ever since. Her panic attack occurred while she was at the gym, so she’s avoided the gym for the past two months, significantly cutting down her physical activity and leaving many of her cross-fit buddies to wonder where she is. Can Judy be diagnosed with panic disorder?
a. Yes, because she’s been worried for months about having another attack and has changed her behavior as a result of the attack.
b. No, because the duration of the worry and change in behavior is not long enough.
c. No, because she has had only one panic attack.
d. No, because these changes in her routines are not sufficient to constitute clinically significant distress or impairment.
c. No, because she has had only one panic attack.
