I have written about the intolerance of uncertainty many times. Why?

In the last post, we discussed how some people are able to move past a panic attack experience, while others get stuck in the panic place. They begin to live in fear of their panic symptoms and their daily lives become consumed with attempts to prevent another panic attack. In these circumstances, an individual may have developed panic disorder. So, why does this happen?
