  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Panic disorder (PD) is a prevalent condition causing significant distress and reduced quality of life.
  • Individuals with PD often seek initial help from general practitioners (GPs) or emergency departments, primarily reporting somatic symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide general practitioners (GPs) with guidance on managing patients with panic disorder.
  • To outline the etiology, assessment approaches, and common management strategies for PD.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis of PD is typically achieved through careful patient history taking by GPs.
  • GPs play a crucial role in excluding organic causes for panic symptoms.
