A taxometric investigation of agoraphobia in a clinical and a community sample
2009, Journal of Anxiety DisordersHeightened embarrassability discriminates between panic disorder patients with and without agoraphobia
2003, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Also in our sample patients with agoraphobia were predominately female. Agoraphobia has also been reported to be more severe in female patients; Rapee and Murrell (1988), who compared three groups of patients with minimal, moderate and severe avoidance found a trend towards an increased proportion of females with increasing avoidance, but the result did not reach statistical significance. More severe avoidance in female patients, when facing phobic situations alone was also reported by Turgeon, Marchand and Dupuis (1998).
Emotional responding to hyperventilation as a predictor of agoraphobia status among individuals suffering from panic disorder
2003, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :When present in panic disorder, agoraphobia is associated with markedly greater disruption in quality of life (de Jong & Bouman, 1995), significantly higher rates of comorbid depression (Goisman et al., 1994), substance abuse (Rapee & Medoro, 1994), and a less favorable response to both pharmacologic and cognitive-behavioral treatment (Goisman et al., 1994; Keller et al., 1994). Although panic patients with and without agoraphobia do not differ on panic attack frequency (Cox, Endler, & Swinson, 1995; Craske & Barlow, 1988; Rapee & Murrell, 1988; Telch, Brouillard, Telch, Agras, & Taylor, 1989), there are some data suggesting that panic patients with agoraphobia may display more intense respiratory distress such as faintness or dizziness during their panic attacks (de Jong & Bouman, 1995; Noyes, Clancy, Garvey, & Anderson, 1987; Telch et al., 1989). The overall aim of the present investigation was to examine the role of respiratory sensitivity in panic disorder and agoraphobia by comparing emotional responding to voluntary hyperventilation challenge among three panic groups: non-patients with current panic attacks (non-clinical panickers (NP)), patients with PD but minimal or no agoraphobia, and patients with PD plus moderate to severe agoraphobia.
