Paper For Above instruction

Maria, a 28-year-old woman, arrives at a community mental health center reporting recurrent episodes of intense fear and physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath. She describes these episodes as unpredictable, often peaking within minutes, and worries about having another attack, which has led her to avoid social situations and public places. Maria's symptoms align with Panic Disorder, characterized by sudden episodes of overwhelming fear and physical manifestations of anxiety (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). She reports that her episodes began six months ago following a stressful breakup, and her avoidance has significantly impaired her daily functioning. She denies any hallucinations or disorganized thinking. A comprehensive assessment and therapy, possibly including medication, are recommended to manage her symptoms and improve her quality of life.
