In reply to Panic Attack v.s Anxiety Attack, posted by Regi on August 15, 1999, at 10:16:02
>For me the difference is that a Panic attack will come on very suddenly and you know that problably the situation you are in is what is causing the Panic attack - but the attack lasts o few minutes to several minutes. Once the attack is over all sympton disappear. Anxiety at least to me is worse because the symptoms do not leave, but linger for days or weeks until treatment is sought.
I have suffered from both, but mostly from anxiety where I can also have feelings of unreality. Hope this helps!! This is my interpretation!! Good luck!!
