DSM‐III‐R Axis I and II disorders in agoraphobic patients with and without panic disorder

Abstract

Patients attending an inpatient phobia treatment program were diagnosed for DSM-III-R Axis I and II disorders, using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Disorders, and completed a set of self-report instruments. They were divided into 3 groups: (a) those who met the criteria for panic disorder with agoraphobia (n = 57), (b) those who met the criteria for agoraphobia without a history of panic disorder (n = 21), and (c) those who met criteria for other anxiety disorders, but not for panic/agoraphobia (n = 14). On Axis I, more of the panic with agoraphobia than of the agoraphobia without panic patients had obsessive-compulsive disorder. On Axis II, no significant differences between the agoraphobic patients with and without panic occurred. However, the number of hysterical traits was related to the presence of panic disorder among the agoraphobic patients. Avoidant and dependent traits were related to symptom severity.
