panic disorder - (pronounced) (PA-nik dis-OR-der) type of anxiety disorder in which a person repeatedly has panic attacks when there is no actual danger. Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense fear or anxiety that can provoke irrational thoughts or actions. During a panic attack, a person may experience chest pains, difficulty breathing, a rapid heartbeat, sweating, tremors, dizziness, and a feeling of impending doom or out of control. Panic attacks can last several minutes or longer. People with panic disorder often worry that the panic attacks will come back and try to avoid places or situations where they happened
