People correctly diagnosed with panic disorder can expect to:
a. be able to control the physiologic changes and sensations during the attacks
b. experience advance warning "aura" symptoms prior to an attack
c. experience little or no residual anxiety between attacks
d. not experience very much psychological distress during the attacks
C
Most persons who experience panic attacks have little or residual anxiety between attacks. In some individuals, the panic attacks are reproducibly provoked by exposure to certain stimuli (e.g., seeing a snake). In others, they may appear out of the blue or be most likely to occur in specific settings (such as the dentist's office).
