From the Paper:

"First introduced to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd Edition (DSM-III) in 1980 Panic disorder (PD) is characterized by cognitive fears such anticipation of death, unexpected panic attacks and somatic symptomology such as dizziness, trembling, or heart palpitations. Those inflicted with such a disorder have recurrent fears of panic attacks and feel anxious whilst such symptomology appears to be in remission. Recent diagnostic criteria such as DSM-III-R and DSM-IV report prevalence of 2.3% (Kessler, Stang, Wittchen, Ustun, Roy-Byrne, & Walters; 1998)."
