Groups of patients with principal diagnosis of panic disorder (n = 54) and generalized anxiety disorder (n = 49) were compared on the basis of their comorbidity with other mental disorders. The rates and patterns of comorbidity were similar, except for comorbid simple phobia and past drug abuse. This finding was interpreted as failing to support a notion that there is essential distinction between panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.
以惊恐障碍(n = 54)和广泛性焦虑障碍(n = 49)为主诊断的患者组,根据其与其他精神障碍的共病情况进行了比较。除了共病单纯恐惧症和既往药物滥用外,共病的发生率和模式相似。这一发现被解释为不支持惊恐障碍和广泛性焦虑障碍之间存在本质区别的观点。
