It depends on the person. Some people have panic attacks brought on by a specific phobia (bridged, public settings, speaking in front of a group, etc..) While other react to changes in their body (caffeine, fear, odd heartbeats, etc...).

Panic attacks cause a feeling of loss of control and extreme fright. The symptoms include rapid breathing and palpitations. The cause of panic attacks is not known. They have, however, been associated with major life stressors such as marriage or divorce. There is also some evidence that panic attacks may run in families. There is a loose association with certain mental health diseases such as depression.

Anything can trigger a panic attack. Fears, anxiety, new situations, upsetting conversations/news articles. It is highly individualized, as every person and every panic disorder varies.

What is worse a panic disorder or panic attack?

It's difficult to categorize one as being "worse" than the other because they are interconnected. Panic disorder involves experiencing recurring panic attacks, which are the defining feature of the disorder. In this sense, panic disorder encompasses the experience of panic attacks. However, not all panic attacks lead to a diagnosis of panic disorder. Panic attacks can occur as isolated incidents or in the context of other anxiety disorders, without meeting the criteria for panic disorder.
