Treatment of depressed patients with panic attacks

Permalink 07:09:03 pm, Categories: Antidepressants  

A prospective study of depressed patients found that panic attacks are correlated with a poor outcome (Coryell et al., 1988). There is some evidence that such patients may do better with MAOIs (O’Reardon and Amsterdam, 2001)
