Question:
Do PD and PA go hand-in-hand or are they seperate and distinct problems? Any light on this will be very useful.
Response:
When you have PD, you experience PA. Other anxiety disorders may have PA as part of the picture but this doesn’t necessarily mean the diagnosis is panic disorder. I hope this helps. Ellen

Criteria for considering Panic Disorder without Agoraphobia (Mental Health Foundation of Australia) Both recurrent unexpected panic attacks and at least one of the attacks being followed by one month (or more) of one (or more) of the following: persistent concern about having additional attacks worry about the implications of the attacks or its consequences a significant change in behaviour related to the attacks Absence of Agoraphobia The panic attacks are not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance, medication, or a general medical condition. The panic attacks are not better accounted for by another mental disorder such as social phobia, specific phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or separation anxiety. Hope this helps, Meryl
