“…These "infrequent panickers" closely resembled full disorder subjects with respect to symptomatology and demographic characteristics (Von Korff et al, 1985;Klerman et al, 1991). Many reported panic associated treatment-seeking, impairment and/or subjective distress (Angst et al, 1989;Telch et al, 1989;Salge et al, 1988). Preliminary family history, twin and biological challenge findings were also consistent with epidemiologic similarity between the two groups (Crowe et al, 1986;Torgersen, 1983;Cowley et al, 1987).…”

“…While many patients reported the stereotyped history of frequent, regularly occurring panic, others were equally disabled by erratic, infrequent, or otherwise irregular patterns of attacks. Convergent data from epidemiologic studies indicated a significant number of "infrequent panickers," i.e., individuals who suffered from panic attacks but would be excluded from the diagnostic category only because of failure to meet a frequency criterion (Eaton et al, 1989;Katerndahl, 1987;Salge et al, 1988;Wittchen, 1986). These "infrequent panickers" closely resembled full disorder subjects with respect to symptomatology and demographic characteristics (Von Korff et al, 1985;Klerman et al, 1991).…”

The goal of the DSM‐IV panic disorder field trial was to provide an empirical basis for choosing between alternate proposals (DSM‐III‐R and proposed DSM‐IV) for the diagnostic threshold for panic disorder, in particular the number and frequency of panic attacks required for diagnosis. The two criteria sets were compared with respect to their ability to identify individuals whose panic attacks were associated with distress, impairment, or help‐seeking. Subjects were a convenience sample screened in three geographically diverse primary care clinics for presence (past 6 months) or absence (lifetime) of panic attacks. Each underwent a clinician‐administered semistructured interview which included assessment of panic frequency, panic‐related impairment, psychiatric diagnosis, health services utilization, and medical illness. Self‐perceived health‐related quality of life was assessed using the Medical Outcome Study SF‐36 Health Survey Questionnaire. Although both proposals diagnosed the same proportion of panic‐impaired individuals, they were not completely overlapping. Twenty percent of subjects diagnosed by each criteria set were excluded by the other. Subjects who had been excluded by the DSM‐III‐R but included by the DSM‐IV proposal were those with fewer than 4 attacks in 4 weeks who also denied worry about the “next” attack. Broadening the worry criterion to include concerns about the health implications of attacks enabled diagnosis of this group. Subjects who met DSM‐III‐R, but not the proposed DSM‐IV criteria, had 4 attacks in 4 weeks but denied any panic related worry. Modification of the DSM‐IV proposal to include a month of worry or “a significant change in behavior related to the attacks” allowed inclusion of this group in the diagnostic category. These data suggest that the finalized DSM‐IV panic disorder criteria will diagnose a greater proportion of individuals whose panic attacks are associated with impairment without inflating the diagnostic category or significantly reducing specificity.

Additional data from our clinic and around the world (Brown & Cash, 1990;Rapee, Ancis, & Barlow, 1987;Salge, Beck, & Logan, 1988;Wittchen, 1986) suggest that approximately 9% to 15% of the population has experienced uncued, unexpected "spontaneous" panic attacks. Norton, Doward, and Cox (1986) cross-validated this study, coming up with very similar data.…”

A new preliminary model of emotional disorders, derived from basic tenets of emotion theory and new developments in cognitive science, is presented. It is suggested that tightly organized basic emotions stored in memory fire inappropriately on occasion. In individuals who are vulnerable both biologically and psychologically, these emotions may become the focus of anxiety or dysthymia in that the emotions themselves are experienced as uncontrollable and threatening with adequate coping being dificult or impossible. Early experiences with lack of control over one's environment as well as biological vulnerabilities may well determine whether or not one becomes anxiousldysthymic over the experience of basic emotions in an inappropriate context. This model is illustrated in the context of panic disorder and then extended to depression (sadnessldistress), stress (anger), and mania (excitement).SUBJECT 1 BASELINE RELAXAI ION PANIC TIME IN MINUTES 728-7 2 6 -72 2 -

“…[18] Prevalence estimates indicate that about 9–14% of the general population report at least one DSM-defined panic attack in their lifetime. [19,20] In our sample, approximately 10.6% of respondents met DSM-IV criteria for panic attack(s). Of this 10.6%, approximately 6.75% met lifetime criteria for panic attacks and 3.9% met the more stringent PD criteria.…”

Childhood Separation Anxiety Disorder and Adult Onset Panic Attacks Share a Common Genetic Diathesis

et al. 2012

Background Childhood separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is hypothesized to share etiologic roots with panic disorder. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic and environmental sources of covariance between childhood SAD and adult onset panic attacks (AOPA), with the primary goal to determine whether these two phenotypes share a common genetic diathesis. Methods Participants included parents and their monozygotic or dizygotic twins (n = 1,437 twin pairs) participating in the Virginia Twin Study of Adolescent Behavioral Development and those twins who later completed the Young Adult Follow-Up (YAFU). The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment was completed at three waves during childhood/adolescence followed by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R at the YAFU. Two separate, bivariate Cholesky models were fit to childhood diagnoses of SAD and overanxious disorder (OAD), respectively, and their relation with AOPA; a trivariate Cholesky model also examined the collective influence of childhood SAD and OAD on AOPA. Results In the best-fitting bivariate model, the covariation between SAD and AOPA was accounted for by genetic and unique environmental factors only, with the genetic factor associated with childhood SAD explaining significant variance in AOPA. Environmental risk factors were not significantly shared between SAD and AOPA. By contrast, the genetic factor associated with childhood OAD did not contribute significantly to AOPA. Results of the trivariate Cholesky reaffirmed outcomes of bivariate models. Conclusions These data indicate that childhood SAD and AOPA share a common genetic diathesis that is not observed for childhood OAD, strongly supporting the hypothesis of a specific genetic etiologic link between the two phenotypes.
