Panic disorder is rarely diagnosed in completed suicides, but when present, it is often with major depression and substance abuse. Comprehensive assessment of overall psychopathology is crucial for identifying suicide risk in these patients.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Epidemiology
  • Suicidology

Background:

  • Panic disorder is associated with increased suicide risk.
  • However, current panic disorder is seldom identified in completed suicide cases.
  • Clinical characteristics and comorbidity of panic disorder among suicides are largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of panic disorder in completed suicides.
  • To examine comorbidity, suicide methods, and history of suicide attempts in victims with panic disorder.

Main Methods:

  • Psychological autopsy study of 1397 suicides in Finland over one year.
  • Retrospective identification and examination of victims with current DSM-III-R panic disorder.
  • Analysis of comorbidity, suicide methods, treatment history, and duration of panic disorder.

Main Results:

  • 1.2% (17) of suicides had current panic disorder, more prevalent in females.
  • All panic disorder victims had comorbid Axis I disorders; 47% had Axis II disorders.
  • Major depression (59%) and substance abuse (47%) were common; panic disorder onset often preceded comorbidities.

Conclusions:

  • Noncomorbid panic disorder is rare in completed suicides.
  • Suicide in panic disorder patients is linked to comorbid major depression, substance abuse, and personality disorders.
  • Monitoring overall psychopathology is essential for assessing suicide risk in panic disorder patients.
