Dissociative symptoms are common during panic attacks but not more prevalent in panic disorder patients compared to other anxiety disorders. Depression and social anxiety correlate with these experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Anxiety Disorders Research

Background:

  • Dissociative symptoms are often associated with trauma and severe mental health conditions.
  • Their prevalence and nature within anxiety disorders, particularly panic disorder, require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and correlates of dissociative symptoms in patients diagnosed with panic disorder.
  • To compare dissociative experiences in panic disorder patients with those in patients with other nonpanic anxiety disorders.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 56 patients with anxiety disorders was assessed.
  • Utilized structured clinical interviews and a battery of questionnaires, including the Dissociative Experience Scale.

Main Results:

  • While 69% of panic disorder patients reported depersonalization/derealization during panic attacks, overall dissociative experiences were not significantly higher than in other anxiety disorders.
  • Dissociative experiences in the sample were generally low and within nonpathological ranges.
  • Severity of depression, social anxiety, and presence of personality disorders correlated with dissociative symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Dissociative symptoms during panic attacks are common but do not indicate a higher general propensity for dissociation in panic disorder.
  • Findings suggest that dissociative symptoms in anxiety populations may be linked to comorbid conditions like depression and social anxiety rather than panic disorder itself.
