Question

For each of the following brief case studies, identify the disorder
being described. After you indicate the disorder, identify TWO symptoms from the case study
that justifies your answer. Be specific, using the case study symptoms.

A 35-year-old clothing salesman was showing a particularly fussy customer a suit 2 months ago
and suddenly began to sweat profusely. His heart started to pound, he felt dizzy, and became
fearful that he was about to die. The customer didn’t notice his condition and continued to
question him about the suit in minute detail. The patient, feeling faint, abruptly left the customer
and went to lie down in the back of the store. The customer became insulted, complained to the
manager, and left. When the manager found the patient, he was slumped in a chair in the back
room trembling. Approximately 10 minutes later the patient’s symptoms began to subside. He saw
his physician the next day who found no evidence of any medical problems. Two weeks later, he
had another similar unexpected attack. Since that time, he has worried continuously about having
another attack. His friends and colleagues have noticed that he is no longer as spontaneous and
outgoing as he had been in the past.
