Read the passage below and answer the questions as instructed:-

Driving back home Shriya experienced increased heart beat, shortness of breath, dizziness, trembling, palpitations and she started having a feeling of discomfort. She was so scared that she stopped the car and sat on the pavement. In the next few months, frequency of these attacks increased, and the fear of being caught in the traffic was so high that she stopped driving. She felt that she was going crazy and losing control on herself.

Which of the following is a symptom of the disorder identified?

Recurrent anxiety attacks

The correct answer is Recurrent anxiety attacks.

The passage describes a person who is experiencing recurrent anxiety attacks, which are a key symptom of an anxiety disorder. The other symptoms listed, apprehensions, restlessness, and hyper vigilance, are also common symptoms of anxiety disorders, but they are not as specific to anxiety attacks as recurrent anxiety attacks are.

Apprehensions are feelings of anxiety or fear about future events. Restlessness is a feeling of being unable to sit still or relax. Hyper vigilance is a state of being overly alert and watchful for danger.
