“…They also feature apprehension and somatic symptoms, similar to panic attacks that are triggered during wake states. Studies that have captured sleep panic attacks during polysomnographic recordings find that the episodes were preceded by either stage 2 or stage 3 of non-REM sleep (17,27). Mellman et al (17) more specifically noted that the sleep panic attacks originated during the transition from stage 2 into early slow wave sleep which is a period of diminishing arousal.…”

“…Uykudaki bu sonuçlar panik bozukluğunda öncesinde yapılan çalışma sonuçları ile uyumludur (27)(28)(29)(30)(31). Uykunun devamlılığının bozulduğuna dair bu bulgular diğer psikiyatrik bozukluklarda da görülen, herhangi bir psikiyatrik bozukluğa özgün olmayan bulgulardır (32).…”

Summary ÖzetIntroduction: Studies generally indicate that panic disorder patients have reduced heart rate variability (HRV), diminished vagal tone and relative sympathetic dominance. Despite a consistent profile of reduced HRV in PD patients during daytime assessments, sleep-based HRV studies have yielded inconsistent results. For this reason, we aimed to investigate cardiac autonomic function in PD patients using polysomnographic records. Materials and Methods: 15 non-medicated PD patients and 15 ageand sex-matched normal controls were studied on polysomnography on two consecutive nights. Data were extracted from the second night for analysis. Results: Patients showed poor sleep efficiency, increased the number of the awakenings, and longer sleep latency than controls. Comparison of time domain and frequency domain HRV parameters between PD patients and control subjects revealed that there were no statistically significant differences. Discussion: The results indicate that the sympathovagal balance might not be influenced in drug-free patients with panic disorder in the early stage of illness. (JTSM 2014;1:28-32)

“…129-130). Findings suggest that panic attacks may occur in the absence of catastrophic thoughts as well; for example, a number of investigators found that panic attacks occur during the non-dreaming stages of sleep, where catastrophic thoughts are absent (Craske & Barlow, 1989;Craske & Rowe, 1997;Hauri, Friedman, & Ravaris, 1989;Lesser, Poland, Holcant, & Rose, 1985;Ley, 1988;Mellman & Uhde, 1989). Although Schredl, Kronenberg, Nonnell and Heuser (2001) reported that nocturnal panic attacks are closely related to dreams and nightmares, they too reported that a subgroup of patients in their study experienced panic attacks in the absence of dreams.…”

“…However, as noted above, the existence of catastrophic beliefs does not necessarily prove a causal relationship, especially because panic attacks may occur in absence of catastrophic thought (Craske & Rowe, 1997;Hauri et al, 1989;Ley, 1988;Mellman & Uhde, 1989).…”

This article reviews the empirical status of theories of fear and phobia. Psychoanalysis received little support, as findings tend to refute its basic assumption that phobia results from repressed material. Although conditioning has its weaknesses, it appears to be the strongest explanation of simple phobia. Findings raise question as to whether interoceptive conditioning can account for the development of panic disorder and agoraphobia, as these disorders develop in the absence of environmental conditioning events. A significant body of research supports Clark's claim that catastrophic misinterpretation of bodily sensations are involved in both the development and treatment of panic disorder and agoraphobia. However, the causal relationship between the two remains unclear. Likewise, while biological factors certainly increase the vulnerability to developing fear and phobia, findings have not yet confirmed that these behaviors are controlled by biological mechanisms. A new theory, the Rational-Choice Theory of Neurosis (Rofé, 2010;Y. Rofé & Rofé, 2013), which preserves the psychoanalytic claim that bizarre phobias need to be explained within a theory that accounts for neuroses by one set of theoretical concepts, was used to resolve the theoretical confusion in this field.
