In a sample of 188 consecutive female psychiatric patients, Briquet's syndrome was found to be associated more closely with the aggregation of both major depression and either panic disorder or agoraphobia than with major depression or panic disorder-agoraphobia alone. These results are consistent with the hypothesis of a shared diathesis underlying some cases of major depression, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and Briquet's syndrome. The author proposes that Briquet's syndrome may represent the most extreme expression of a tendency for a number of physical and psychological syndromes to aggregate.
在188名连续的女性精神病患者样本中，发现布里凯综合征与重度抑郁症和惊恐障碍或广场恐惧症的聚集比单独与重度抑郁症或惊恐障碍 - 广场恐惧症的关联更为紧密。这些结果与某些重度抑郁症、惊恐障碍、广场恐惧症和布里凯综合征病例存在共同素质的假设一致。作者提出，布里凯综合征可能代表了多种身体和心理综合征聚集倾向的最极端表现。
