Epidemiology of Panic Disorder

Incidence of panic disorder in patients with non-cardiac chest pain and panic attacks

“…However, the results do not support this hypothesis. Furthermore, contrary to what is generally observed in the literature on the relationship between certain sociodemographic variables and PD (Pane-Farre et al, 2013; Ramage-Morin, 2004; Rouillon, 1996), they were not associated with the incidence of PD in our sample. One possible explanation is that, contrary to the previous studies, our sample is limited to patients with PAs.…”

“…However, to our knowledge, no study has directly investigated this matter. Still, factors such as being a woman, living alone, having a lower education level, having a lower household income, and being unemployed have been associated with the development of PD in the general population (Pane-Farre et al, 2013; Ramage-Morin, 2004; Rouillon, 1996). Younger age, a high level of anxiety sensitivity, a high level of psychological distress, a low level of social support, and the presence of other anxiety and mood disorders have also been associated with PD (Deacon and Abramowitz, 2006; Dour et al, 2014; Hart and Hittner, 1991; Kessler et al, 2006; Mantar et al, 2011; Pane-Farre et al, 2013).…”

Cost of specialized addiction treatment of clients with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in Canada

“…Within this group are those with FASD, which represent a population that is high-risk for concurrent mental health disorders [7,12,13,44,45]. Research shows that such high-risk populations with co-morbid mental disorders have higher rates of relapse and readmission to treatment, and thus, have a more complicated trajectory of service use and place a greater demand on service providers [17-22]. …”

“…They vary, however, in their capacity for assisting clients with co-occurring disorders [15,16], which would include complications arising from FASD among others. Prior research suggests that people with co-morbid substance use and mental disorders have a more complicated trajectory of service use, including higher rates of relapse and readmission to addiction treatment [17-22]. Given the high-risk nature of FASD for multiple health and social comorbidities, it is of interest to understand their representation in the specialized addiction treatment system.…”
