Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Panic disorder affects up to 3% of adults, often co-occurring with other psychiatric conditions and substance abuse.
  • Individuals with panic disorder exhibit a higher risk of suicide compared to those with depression or other psychiatric illnesses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the effects of non-drug treatments for panic disorder.
  • To systematically review the effects of drug treatments for panic disorder.
  • To systematically review the effects of combined drug and psychological treatments for panic disorder.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a systematic literature review up to June 2007.
  • Searched major databases including Medline, Embase, and The Cochrane Library.
  • Included harms alerts from regulatory agencies like the FDA and MHRA.

Main Results:

  • Identified 36 systematic reviews, RCTs, and observational studies meeting inclusion criteria.
  • Performed a GRADE evaluation to assess the quality of evidence for various interventions.
  • Data synthesized on the effectiveness and safety of numerous treatments.

Conclusions:

  • Presents information on the effectiveness and safety of applied relaxation, benzodiazepines, breathing retraining, and psychotherapy.
  • Details findings on buspirone, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive restructuring, couple therapy, and exposure therapies.
  • Summarizes evidence for monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), psychoeducation, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), self-help, and tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine).
