✦ Synopsis

International community surveys generally agree that panic disorder occurs in adults with a lifetime prevalence of up to 3 per cent and a 6-month or 1-year prevalence of about 1 per cent. Although all sociodemographic groups are aected, panic disorder is most prevalent in women, people under the age of 50 years, people who are divorced or separated and those who live in an urban area. Aetiological factors include familial and genetic aspects, and developmental variables, such as parental loss and separation during childhood, stressful life events and social environmental diculties. A major problem associated with panic disorder is risk of suicide.
