Sudden overpowering anxiety (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panic

'sudden overpowering anxiety' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for panic that I've seen before include "Sudden feeling of terror" , "Alarm, scare" , "Frantic fear" , "Fearful confusion" , "Sudden, infectious fear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
