What is a common outcome of panic attacks experienced in Panic Disorder?

In the context of Panic Disorder, individuals often experience panic attacks that can lead to significant behavioral changes regarding their future responses to these attacks. After experiencing a panic attack, many people develop heightened anxiety about the possibility of having another attack. This can result in a variety of avoidance behaviors, such as steering clear of places or situations where previous attacks have occurred, or avoiding activities that may trigger anxiety.

This change in behavior is a coping mechanism to manage the fear of experiencing another panic attack, which is central to the diagnosis of Panic Disorder. Thus, the correct answer reflects the impact that panic attacks can have on an individual’s behavior as they navigate their fear and anxiety related to these episodes.

The other options, while they may represent potential consequences of panic disorder in some cases, do not specifically capture the common and immediate behavioral response associated with the experience of panic attacks.
