However, to our knowledge, there are no studies which have investigated the relationship between panic disorder (PD) and type D personality. Our aim in the current study was to determine whether PD was associated with Type D personality, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and somatosensory amplification by comparing the characteristics of patients with and without PD. Methods: We designed a questionnaire based case-control study. The study group included 100 patients with panic disorder, and control group consisted of 100 healthy individuals. Sociodemographic Data Form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Type D Personality Scale (DS14), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS) were carried out for each participant. Results: The patient and control groups were found to be similar in terms of sex, marriage status, education status and employment status. Compared to the control group, scores for BAI (P<0.01), BDI (P<0.01), CTQ (P<0.01), DS-14 (P<0.01) were found to be significantly higher in the patient group. The frequency of Type D personality was also higher in the patient group. Conclusion: Our findings show that patients with PD have significantly higher scores in anxiety, depression, Type D Personality, CTQ total scores measures compared to controls. We did not find any associations between PD and somatosensory amplification. We believe our findings will contribute significantly to the limited literature on this topic.

Depression, Anxiety, Psychosomatic Symptoms, and Perceived Social Support in Type D and Non-type D Individuals

“…The study results indicate that Type D individuals manifest both social and generalized anxiety [23]. Tasdelen and Yage [24] investigated depression, Type D personality, somatosensory amplification level, childhood trauma in panic disorder patients. The study concluded that individuals with panic disorder also show symptoms of depression, anxiety, and Type D childhood trauma.…”

Evaluation of serum oxytocin levels in patients with depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder: A case-control study

“…Fourth, serum oxytocin levels may not reflect central oxytocin levels. Fifth, childhood trauma, attachment styles, genetic variations in oxytocin receptors that may affect oxytocin levels were not evaluated [54]. Sixth, oxytocin secretion changed situationally and during the daytime, but we measured serum oxytocin levels once and cortisol levels that affect oxytocin were not measured.…”

Preoperative evaluation of the knowledge and concerns of gynecology patients regarding anesthesia: A questionnaire based observational study

“…Anxiety is a common emotional disorder among patients. There have been several studies related to anxiety for various types of diagnoses [3,4]. Since the 1970s, studies have been conducted on the level of knowledge on anesthesiologists and anesthesia applications, onto which research regarding patient satisfaction, measurement of preoperative anxiety and causes were added during later years [5][6][7].…”
