The Mini Neurology Series Volume: 3 Panic Disorder by Britt Talley Daniel MD
Panic Disorder, the third volume in The Mini Neurology Series, explains a common but often bewildering problem in medical practice: the patient who suddenly develops dizziness, numbness, tingling, a racing heart, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or an overwhelming fear that something is terribly wrong.
These frightening episodes may lead patients to emergency rooms and repeated medical evaluations before the underlying problem is recognized as panic attacks or panic disorder.
Britt Talley Daniel, MD, traces the fascinating history of the word panic from Pan, the ancient Greek god of the woods, through the development of panic disorder as a recognized psychiatric diagnosis and its inclusion in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980.
The book explains the symptoms and diagnosis of panic attacks and panic disorder, agoraphobia, associated medical and psychiatric conditions, the role of the autonomic nervous system and the body’s “fight-or-flight” response, possible causes, and available treatments.
Written from the perspective of an experienced neurologist, Panic Disorder is a concise, accessible guide for patients who want to understand their symptoms and for physicians and other healthcare professionals seeking a practical review of this frequently misunderstood disorder.
