both anxiety and panic are the bodys alarm mechanisms that interpret threat and danger we all have them but life experiences such as traumatic events ect can massively exaggerate them sending them out of control so if you like the alarms are going off at the wrong times when thiers no perceived threat or imediate danger it also cause temper problems (fight or flight)
