Abstract

The present study examined the prevalence and correlates of dissociative symptoms in patients with panic disorder and patients with other nonpanic anxiety disorders. A total of 56 patients with anxiety disorders (13 with panic disorder alone, 16 with comorbid panic and other anxiety, and 27 with other anxiety disorders) were assessed with structured clinical interviews and a battery of questionnaires. Although 69% of patients with panic disorder experienced depersonalization or derealization during their panic attacks, panic disorder patients were no more likely to experience dissociative experiences as assessed by the Dissociative Experience Scale than patients with other anxiety disorders. In the entire sample, the prevalence of dissociative experiences was very low and well within nonpathological ranges. The correlates of dissociative symptoms were severity of depression, social anxiety, and personality disorders. The implications of these findings for conceptualizing the nature of dissociative symptoms within an anxiety population are discussed.

  • Dissociative symptomatology can also be present in syndromes less frequently associated with trauma, including major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, alcohol and drug abuse and dependence, and schizophrenia.

    “Notably, dissociative symptomatology can also be present in syndromes less frequently associated with trauma including major depressive disorder (MDD) (Bob et al., 2008;Molina-Serrano et al., 2008;Mula et al., 2007;Sar et al., 2013;Parlar et al., 2016), anxiety disorders (Ball et al., 1997;Marquez et al., 2001;Mula et al., 2007;Sierra et al., 2012), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) (Belli,”

  • Among a sample of individuals with panic disorder and other anxiety disorders, individuals who experienced symptoms of depersonalization had higher rates of comorbid depression and personality disorder symptoms.

    “Interestingly, among a sample of individuals with panic disorder and other anxiety disorders (social phobia; generalized anxiety disorder; OCD; specific phobia), individuals who experienced symptoms of depersonalization had higher rates of comorbid depression and personality disorder symptoms (Ball et al., 1997)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
