What is the difference between Social Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder?

This video describes differences between social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Both disorders and characterized by the presence of panic attacks. With social anxiety disorder, panic attacks are caused by social situations. With panic disorder, panic attacks are caused by a fear of future panic attacks. An individual can be diagnosed with both disorders at the same time.

A video on the difference between Avoidant personality disorder and Social Anxiety would be interesting... they seem so similar!

As an adolescent (16 years old) I was admitted to an adult psychiatric unit. The treatment was degrading and had a devastating effect on my mental health. Ever since then I have been unable to see a doctor without being over come by severe and overwhelming anxiety. I feel perfectly calm in the waiting room. I'm fine communicating with anyone else (though I'm introvert, reserved and not very good at conversation). I do not socialise much since the treatment has left me unable to have a healthy sex life and I'm not interested in having any human relationships behind sexual ones. People often say that I have "social anxiety", which makes me angry and I often correct them. I do not feel anxious in social situations outside of the school environment (particularly in a class room or play ground) as I was bullied, and when seeing doctors (or anyone relating to mental health). Outside of that I'm perfectly calm around people, but uninterested. Am I correct in calling this a "panic attack", and not social anxiety? I visit a counselor back in 2016 and I explained to him how I get anxious alone due to a certain fear (only from around 2015 on wards) and other than that when I see the likes of doctors. I also started having panic attacks every time the doorbell rang after this fear (of being imprisoned or institutionalized) arose. It pissed me off when he called this "social anxiety".

I have a depression with anxiety disorder ( panic disorder) . My doctor says it's mainly the panic disorder. I used to have severe panic attacks where I would throw up 2-4 times a night. This was 15 years ago, at age 22-26. Now it's 1 panic attack per year. Is it calming down with aging ? Is that a thing?
