Area of Science:

  • Mental Health Research
  • Epidemiology
  • Indigenous Health

Background:

  • Panic disorder prevalence and characteristics are understudied in American Indian populations.
  • Community-based participatory research is crucial for understanding mental health in indigenous communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To screen for panic disorder, substance abuse, and major depression in two Northwest Coast Indian villages.
  • To investigate the co-occurrence of panic disorder with alcohol abuse and depression in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Community health representatives conducted screenings using DSM-III criteria.
  • Evaluations included patient education and assessment by a psychiatrist, social worker, and primary care physicians.
  • Fifty community residents participated in the screening.

Main Results:

  • Seven participants met diagnostic criteria for panic disorder.
  • Four individuals with panic disorder also exhibited symptoms of alcohol abuse.
  • Panic disorder patients reported over double the lifetime prevalence of depression compared to others.

Conclusions:

  • Panic disorder appears to affect American Indian communities, often co-occurring with alcohol abuse and depression.
  • Community health representatives can effectively participate in mental health screenings.
  • Further research with refined study designs is recommended to better understand panic disorder in this population.
