What is panic disorder?

Panic Disorder, A Real Illness

Does This Sound Like You?
Do you have sudden bursts of fear for no reason?
Do you feel awful when they happen?
Put a check in the box next to any of these problems you may have during these sudden bursts of fear:

  __ I have chest pains or a racing heart.
  __ I have a hard time breathing.
  __ I have a choking feeling.
  __ I feel dizzy.
  __ I sweat a lot.
  __ I have stomach problems or feel like throwing up.
  __ I shake, tremble, or tingle.
  __ I feel out of control.
  __ I feel unreal.
  __ I am afraid I am dying or going crazy.

If you put a check in the box next to some of these problems, you may have Panic Disorder.

Panic disorder is a real illness that needs to be treated.
It's not your fault if you have this illness, and you don't have to suffer.

Read this booklet and learn how to get help. You can feel better and get your life back!
