Are anxiety and panic disorder the same thing?


i need an article proving this.

preferably not a ".com" source.
if it is one, thats fine.

thanks in advance!

I suffered from a Generalized Anxiety Disorder for years. When you feel anxious, that is when the panic attacks happen, for whatever reason that may get you anxious.
You're online asking for an article, most of these are going to be.com's.

According to the DSM IV-TR - the diagnostic tool for mental health professionals, panic disorder falls under the umbrella of anxiety disorders. There are many types of anxiety disorder. A panic disorder is one type. As quoted in the DSM, "the essential feature of Panic Disorder is the presence of recurrent, unexpected panic attacks followed by at least 1 month of persistent concern about having another panic attack, worry about the possible implications or consequences of the panic attacks, or a significant behavioral change related to the attacks. " It goes on from there.
There are a wide spectrum of anxiety disorders that are not panic disorder.Some of those include Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress disorder, acute stress disorder and generalized anxiety disorder among others.

Anxiety disorders are a group of a whole bunch of disorders and panic disorder is a branch of it. so is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
