Explanation:

Panic attacks involve sudden episodes of intense fear with physical symptoms like sweating, rapid heart rate, and nausea (feeling like vomiting), which matches Eve's symptoms. Dissociative disorders involve detachment from self/identity, schizophrenia has psychotic symptoms (not described here), and generalized anxiety disorder is chronic, excessive worry (not sudden episodes like Eve's).
