Who is the first person to diagnose panic disorder?

Who was the first to discover panic disorder?? Well, your question is not very clear. Do you mean who is the first person to actually diagnose and give the name 'panic disorder' to this condition? or do you mean who was the first person to actually 'develop' panic disorder?? Panic disorder is when a person has been suffering one month or more from panic attacks, and has been worried about the reoccurance of these attacks. I should think that people have been suffering from this disorder for many years - particuarly stressed people or perfectionists. The term panic disorder is just a follow on from panic attacks. No-one 'discovered' panic attacks or panic disorder. You make it sound like the discovery of a new unfound island or country!
