The term “panic attack” is most often used with those that have panic disorder where panic may come out of the blue without any obvious trigger. Whilst “attacks” or “occurrences” of social anxiety can feel extremely uncomfortable and distressing – cognitively, emotionally, and physically – the term “panic attack” would normally be reserved for the most extreme scenarios. We understand however that extreme anxiety in all its forms is very hard to deal with and many of links below will have useful guidance on ways to manage symptoms.
