DEF

Période délimitée, de survenue brutale, d'appréhension intense, de peur ou de terreur, souvent associée à des sentiments de catastrophe imminente.

CONT

Les crises de panique sont caractérisées par leur brutalité : elles arrivent par surprise et sont très intenses. Une crise se manifeste généralement par une activité cardio-respiratoire plus rapide et plus intense ainsi que par des symptômes neurosensoriels, comme des vertiges et des frissons. Le plus souvent, elle a lieu pendant quelques minutes, mais peut durer jusqu'à une demi-heure.
