Panic this year in resort (8)

I believe the answer is:

hysteria

'panic' is the definition.
(hysteria is uncontrollable panic)

'this year in resort' is the wordplay.
'in resort' is an anagram indicator (letters get re-sorted).
'this'+'year'='thisyear'
'thisyear' with letters rearranged gives 'HYSTERIA'.

(Other definitions for hysteria that I've seen before include "Psychoneurotic condition" , "Delirium - nervous disorder" , "Is hearty about losing the plot" , "Extreme emotional state of instability" , "Mental disturbance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
