Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Panic attacks and panic disorder are prevalent mental health conditions.
  • Suicidal ideation is a serious concern within primary care populations.
  • The relationship between panic symptoms and suicidality requires further investigation in diverse patient groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between panic attacks, panic disorder, and suicidal ideation in primary care patients.
  • To determine if panic symptoms increase the risk of suicidal ideation, independent of other mental health conditions and demographics.

Main Methods:

  • A probability sample of 1,007 primary care patients was assessed.
  • The PRIME-MD Patient Health Questionnaire was used to evaluate current mental disorders and recent suicidal ideation.

  • Statistical analyses controlled for major depression, substance use disorders, and sociodemographic variables.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients with panic attacks or panic disorder showed significantly elevated risks of suicidal ideation.
    • Suicidal ideation was strongly linked to major depression and comorbid panic disorder (OR = 15.4) or panic attacks (OR = 7.9).
    • These associations remained significant after controlling for confounding factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Panic attacks and panic disorder are significant risk factors for suicidal ideation in primary care.
    • Routine screening for panic symptoms and suicidal ideation is recommended in primary care settings.
    • Integrated care approaches addressing panic and depression may reduce suicide risk.
