Evolutionarily speaking, what is the purpose of panic attacks or other various stress responses which result in inactivity, difficulty in decision making, procrastination, loss of dexterity, etc.?

My guess is that it's a mammalian herd animal survival response when attacked by predators to kick your body into high gear and focus on running away while screeching so that your fellow herd animals also run away in a panic.

The nature vs nurture debate isn't settled. People with abusive childhoods are much more likely to suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Growing up they were attacked for any mistake or problems they had nothing to do with. As adults they're overwhelmed by fear like those dogs that salivate to a ringing bell.

Panic attacks are a result of weed usage which causes permanent changes to the brain

What about people who have panic attacks and haven't used weed?
