TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: OCT 1986Description: 7p., 1 tab, 60 refsSubject: Panic disorder is one of the most frequent clinical problems that primary care physicians are called upon to diagnose and treat. The severe autonomic nervous system activation also can precipitate psychophysiological illness, such as peptic ulcer disease or labile hypertension, and may worsen a chronic medical illness such as asthma or angina pectoris. Patients with panic disorder frequently suffer from other psychiatric illnesses, including major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and simple phobias. Psychotherapy by either the primary care physician or the psychiatrist may decrease symptons as a result of the social support provided as well as lead to improved coping mechanisms that enable the patient to decrease his own stress.
