New You're still not having grand mal anythings.
You're having severe panic attacks.

Confusing the two could have bad outcomes for you if you're incapacitated and medication is required.

You're exactly right, so I never call it that when having one, it's just called a panic attack. I only ever used the term in therapy, for the most part, to describe the severity of it so I just fell into habit when describing it.

In the future I'll do my best to call it a full-on panic or complete panic attack.

Thanks!

Brenda
