Core symptoms:

 Frequent unexpected panic attacks or less severe limited symptom attacks

 Occur for at least one month.

Common symptoms:

 Worry about the consequences of the attacks or the occurrence of attacks in future – for example, what they may mean or interpreted as a sign that one is ‘going mad’

 Change behaviour in an attempt to mitigate or avoid having further attacks.

When people associate certain experiences with having a panic attack, they may avoid that situation in future or only go through it with support from someone who they believe can help mitigate any consequences. This can become widespread and impair functioning in daily life and be captured as a diagnosis of PD with agoraphobia.
