This research suggests panic attacks with specific clinical signs may be partial epileptic seizures. Further studies aim to objectively quantify these signs for improved diagnosis of psychic content seizures.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Panic attacks and partial seizures with psychic content share overlapping clinical features.
  • Distinguishing between these conditions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a hypothesis that panic attacks with specific clinical signs should be diagnosed as partial seizures with psychic content.
  • To review existing scientific literature supporting this hypothesis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical and preclinical studies.
  • Identification and analysis of four key clinical signs: suddenness, automatic nature, great intensity, and strangeness.

Main Results:

  • A wealth of concurring scientific evidence supports the hypothesis at both clinical and preclinical levels.

  • The four defined clinical signs are consistently observed in both conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Panic attacks exhibiting specific clinical signs warrant consideration as partial seizures with psychic content.
    • Further research is needed to develop objective interviews and clinical scales for quantifying these signs.
