The authors report three cases of panic disorder with agoraphobia in children, with characteristic panic attacks, separation anxiety, and fear and avoidance of crowds and public places. The panic and agoraphobic symptoms responded to medications effective with agoraphobic adults, i.e., imipramine and alprazolam.
