Abstract
Recent publications have stressed the relevance of the simultaneous panic disorder and major depressive disorder (MDD) diagnosis from various aspects, including clinical, therapeutic and prognostic, incidence of family psychopathology, and biologic differences. Treatment outcome measures (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores and treatment response) were compared in two groups of patients; one group had MDD alone (N = 8) and the other had simultaneous panic disorder and MDD (N = 8). Patients with MDD alone responded significantly better to antidepressant treatment.
