The author examined psychiatrically a group of 75 patients suffering from severe panic disorder. The special interest of the study was the careful analysis of the time, context and content of different psychological traumas that the patients had throughout their lives.
The author examined 75 patients suffering from panic disorder during ambulatory treatment. There were 53 women (71%) and 22 men (29%). The average age was M=44.68 years (SD=12.68), and average duration of illness was M=5.19 years (SD=6.22). Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, Polish version 5.0.0, Panic and Agoraphobia Scale, Beck's Depression Inventory and Life Inventory were used.
In the group of 75 patients with severe panic disorder, women were majority (71%). It may be due to specific trauma of suffering and/or death of an emotionally close person, which occurred in adulthood. This trauma may have impact on the aetiology of panic disorder. Women are more exposed to this sort of trauma due to their social role.
It is possible, that psychological trauma affects the development, course and severity of panic disorder.
作者对一组75名患有严重惊恐障碍的患者进行了精神检查。该研究的特别关注点是对患者一生中不同心理创伤的时间、背景和内容进行仔细分析。
作者在门诊治疗期间对75名患有惊恐障碍的患者进行了检查。其中有53名女性(71%)和22名男性(29%)。平均年龄为M = 44.68岁(标准差 = 12.68),平均病程为M = 5.19年(标准差 = 6.22)。使用了波兰语版本5.0.0的迷你国际神经精神病学访谈、惊恐和广场恐惧症量表、贝克抑郁量表以及生活量表。
在75名患有严重惊恐障碍的患者组中,女性占多数(71%)。这可能归因于成年期发生的情感亲密之人的痛苦和/或死亡的特定创伤。这种创伤可能对惊恐障碍的病因学产生影响。由于女性的社会角色,她们更容易遭受这类创伤。
心理创伤有可能影响惊恐障碍的发展、病程和严重程度。
