Twenty patients with myasthenia gravis and 15 patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis were assessed with a structured interview. Fifteen patients (43%) were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Significantly more myasthenic patients (40%) than polymyositis/dermatomyositis patients (7%) were diagnosed with panic disorder/agoraphobia. These findings suggest that the symptoms of myasthenia gravis may predispose vulnerable individuals to panic disorder/agoraphobia.
对20例重症肌无力患者和15例多发性肌炎/皮肌炎患者进行了结构化访谈评估。15例患者（43%）被诊断患有焦虑症。被诊断患有惊恐障碍/场所恐惧症的重症肌无力患者（40%）明显多于多发性肌炎/皮肌炎患者（7%）。这些发现表明，重症肌无力的症状可能使易感个体易患惊恐障碍/场所恐惧症。
