Panic Disorder Test: what it measures and how to read your score
Panic disorder is characterised by the repeated occurrence of unexpected panic attacks, accompanied by intense fear and violent physical symptoms. This test allows you to assess four essential dimensions: how often your attacks occur, how intense they are, whether agoraphobia is present, and your level of bodily hypervigilance. The results will help you understand the severity of your disorder and the therapeutic options available to you.
In the article that follows, I explore anxiety and chronic worry. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a generalized anxiety test that helps you take stock of your everyday anxiety level. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.
What the test measures
- Regularity and recurrence of panic attacks.
- Strength and violence of the symptoms during an attack.
- Avoidance of places or situations where an attack might occur.
- Excessive monitoring of physical sensations.
How to interpret your score
The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:
- Low panic disorder: You show no significant signs of panic disorder. Episodes of intense fear are rare or absent and do not affect your daily life.
- Moderate panic disorder: You show signs of moderate panic disorder. Attacks occur occasionally and are beginning to influence some of your behaviours and movements.
- High panic disorder: Panic disorder is significantly present in your life. Attacks are frequent, intense, and have led to substantial changes in your behaviour.
- Very high panic disorder: Panic disorder is severe and drastically affects your quality of life. Prompt professional support is strongly recommended.
