P-145 - Association Between Depersonalization and Panic Disorder in a Sample of Patients With Anxiety Disorders and Mood
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2020
Abstract
There is a strong association between depersonalization (DP) and panic disorder (PD), as documented by Roth (1960) and later by Cassano (1989)1. In the PD is shown a prevalence of 7.8% to 82.6% from the DP. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between depersonalization symptoms and PD in a sample of patients with anxiety disorders and mood.
A sample of 310 patiens was assessed with: SCID-P for axis I diagnosis and SCI-DER (structured clinical interview for depersonalization and derealization symptoms, lifetime version)2.
Through a linear regression analysis we underline that, the presence of depersonalization symptoms, irrespective of age, gender and mood disorder, is significantly associated with the PD diagnosis (total score SCI-DER Tot p = 0.001; derealization p = 0.001; somatopsychic depersonalization p = 0.001; autopsychic depersonalization p = 0.003; affective depersonalization p = 0.047).
The presence of depersonalization symptoms must carefully assess in clinical setting and suggest the presence of panic disorder.
