Asthma patients have higher rates of panic disorder (PD) and panic attacks. Asthma may facilitate PD development in those with a genetic predisposition.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Pulmonology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Panic disorder (PD) and asthma exhibit significant comorbidity.
  • Shared characteristics suggest underlying connections between these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of PD and panic attacks in asthma patients.
  • To examine the temporal relationship and familial risk of PD in asthmatics.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of 51 asthma patients.
  • Assessment of PD prevalence, sporadic panic attacks, and social phobia.
  • Analysis of temporal onset and family history of PD.

Main Results:

  • Asthmatics showed significantly higher prevalences of PD, panic attacks, and social phobia compared to the general population.

  • In 90% of asthmatics with PD, asthma onset preceded PD.
  • Familial PD risk was higher in asthmatics with PD (13.5%) versus those without (2%).

    • Conclusions:

    • High PD prevalence in asthmatics may be linked to asthma facilitating PD in predisposed individuals.
    • Asthma's presence could lower the threshold for PD manifestation in genetically susceptible individuals.
