Panic and agoraphobia may be linked to allergies, suggesting they could be a type of allergic disease. This finding could lead to new psychoimmunological diagnoses and treatments for anxiety disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimmunology
  • Behavioral Medicine
  • Psychiatry

Context:

  • Panic and agoraphobia share vegetative symptoms with anaphylaxis.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the link between panic disorders and allergic reactions.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the correlative correspondence between panic/agoraphobia and allergy/anaphylaxis.
  • To explore the potential of classifying panic and agoraphobia as psychoimmunological disturbances.

Summary:

  • A study found a high correlation in vegetative symptoms between panic/agoraphobia and anaphylaxis.
  • 74% of panic/agoraphobia patients in a pretest had treatable allergic illnesses.
  • Allergic patients did not show higher rates of anxiety disorders than the general population.

Impact:

  • Panic and agoraphobia may be reclassified as allergic diseases with multiple determinants.
  • This could lead to improved, potentially shorter, behavioral medicine treatments including immunotherapy.
  • Potential for enhanced diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders through a psychoimmunological lens.
