title: [Non-fearful panic disorder].
abstract: Panic disorder is among the most prevalent mental health disorders. Among other reasons, it is an important disorder due to its influence on all other medical professionals that these patients consult repeatedly. One of the major reasons for sub-optimal diagnosis is the different and less familiar presentations of the disorder. This article will focus on the "non-fearful" variant. Four case reports are described with prevalent presentations of the disorder and a summary of recommendations for better diagnosis of the disorder.
