GAD or Panic disorder?

What is the difference between GAD and panic disorder? I've been told I have GAD, but my attacks are so severe, it feels more like panic!

well from what i understand gad is a constant excessive worry daily that lasts for more than 6 months, panic disorder is when you worry about having a panic attack and have panic attacks....i have both gad a panic disorder.
I agree, it does sound more like panic disorder, but the GAD diagnosis might be better on your medical records, too.
