Area of Science:

Psychiatry
Internal Medicine
Symptomatology

Background:

Panic disorder typically involves multiple somatic symptoms across various body systems.
Atypical presentations, termed panic disorder subtypes, feature symptoms predominantly in a single system.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the four commonly reported panic disorder subtypes: cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and vestibular.
To highlight how these subtypes can mimic organic diseases.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on panic disorder presentations.
Clinical case examples illustrating subtype manifestations.

Main Results:

Identification of four distinct panic disorder subtypes: cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and vestibular.
Recognition that these subtypes can present symptomatically like primary organic conditions.

Conclusions:

Panic disorder subtypes are crucial to recognize for accurate diagnosis.
Misidentification of subtypes can lead to under-treatment and over-utilization of healthcare resources.
