Panic

Panic is a sudden fear sensation that can dominate or prevent logical thinking and prevent reasoning. These mental faculties are replaced with sudden feelings of anxiety and agitation with a primitive, animalistic fight-or-flight reaction. Panic can be a singular individual reaction or a group reaction much like "herd" behavior. All of us have experienced panic reactions to varying degrees perhaps while driving a car and having something unexpected happen. Or perhaps you had an encounter with a stranger or wild/vicious animal that aroused sudden fear. This panic reaction is a primitive defense device that gives a person an adrenaline boost needed to fight or run away from danger
