Why do we panic?

Panic disorder is a dramatic anxiety syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes of acute fear, is a common psychiatric condition 
it  is complex, encompassing aspects
 of acute fear (spontaneous and cued panics), chronic anxiety
(anticipatory fear

 .
But there is help at hand in the quickly evolving technology of neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and imaging science. 

However, improvements in the accuracy of our neurobiological models of panic are expected to lead to refinements in diagnosis, and more strategic and personalized therapies

In panic disorder it has been  found that a fundamental component of the condition is 
a tendency to misinterpret harmless body sensations (e.g. racing heart, intrusive thoughts) as a sign of an imminent physical or mental disaster (e.g. heart attack or go mad).

 People often adopt safety behaviours (such as sitting down to rest or trying to push intrusive thoughts out of their minds) that prevent them from learning that the sensations are not dangerous. They also become hyper-attentive to their bodies and are able to detect sensations that many others are not aware of. 

In social anxiety disorder, the team identified negative self-imagery, focusing too much attention on oneself during social interactions, and the use of safety behaviours as key maintenance processes.
