A 25-year-old woman has been feeling anxious and nervous for the last few months. She also complains of palpitations and tremors. Her symptoms last for a few minutes and are very hard to control. She tells you that taking alcohol initially helped her relieve her symptoms but now this effect is wearing off and she has her symptoms even after drinking alcohol. What is the most likely diagnosis ?
(A) Panic disorder
(B) Depression
(C) OCD
(D) Alcohol addiction
(E) GAD
