A 30-year-old woman comes to the physician for a follow-up appointment. One month ago, the patient had an episode for which she presented to the emergency department because she thought “she was going to die.” The episode began while the patient was giving a presentation at work. At that time, she had intense chest pain, palpitations, sweating, and shortness of breath. ECG and laboratory evaluation were normal at the time, and the symptoms resolved without any intervention. She had experienced a similar episode 3 months ago while she was at home watching TV with no identifiable stressor. The patient tells the physician that she has been afraid of another attack since then, and she has avoided going out with friends in fear that another episode may happen when outside her home. Past medical history includes a prior diagnosis of alcohol use disorder; she has since been sober for 7 years. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis for this patient’s current condition? Elimination tool Social anxiety disorder Panic disorder Agoraphobia Generalized anxiety disorder Specific phobia
