Panic Disorder Test: what it measures and how to interpret your score
Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent unexpected panic attacks, accompanied by intense fear and severe physical symptoms. This test allows you to assess four essential dimensions: the frequency of your attacks, their intensity, the possible presence of agoraphobia, and your level of bodily hypervigilance. The results will help you understand the severity of your disorder and appropriate treatment options.
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 severity of manifestations during an attack.
- Avoidance of places or situations where an attack might occur.
- Excessive monitoring of physical sensations.
How to interpret your score
Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:
- Low panic disorder : You do not show 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 behaviors and movements.
- High panic disorder : Panic disorder is significantly present in your life. Attacks are frequent, intense, and have led to important behavioral changes.
- Very high panic disorder : Panic disorder is severe and drastically impacts your quality of life. Prompt professional intervention is strongly recommended.
