Panic is a sudden, intense fear that can overwhelm your ability to think clearly and logically. It feels like being caught in a storm of anxiety, where every fiber of your body is on high alert, ready to fight or flee. Panic often arises when you perceive an immediate threat, whether real or imagined, and it triggers a cascade of physical and emotional responses designed for survival. In the Plutchik model, panic is a high-intensity form of fear, characterized by negative valence and high arousal. It’s a primal response that can be both protective and overwhelming.
