Description
Panic disorder is characterized by sudden, unexpected attacks of intense fear and anticipatory anxiety. Panic attacks include symptoms such as palpitations, dyspnoea, dizziness, trembling, gastrointestinal discomfort and fear of dying. Therefore, patients with panic disorder often assume physical illnesses may underly their symptoms. They frequently consult psychiatrists and psychologists, but also general practitioners, cardiologists, neurologists and other medical specialists.
Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library series, this pocketbook will serve as a concise and practical manual for the management of patients with panic disorder in clinical practice. It provides a user-friendly guide to the diagnosis, etiology, and treatment of patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia.

Reviews / Votes
This is an excellent resource on panic disorder and agoraphobia. The authors do a great job of providing readers with a solid foundation on these disorders, including appropriate treatment options. * Doody's Notes * Of particular interest to this reader was the comprehensive table of medical conditions that can mimic panic attacks. Concise text is interspersed with useful boxes and tables, drawing the readers eye to the key points and considerations....For those who are looking for a summary of the current research into these disorders the aetiology section on neurochemistry will not disappoint. * Emma Barrow, BJP Psych Bulletin *More details
