Extract

Depression and panic disorder co-occur in about one-third of people presenting with either condition. When they occur together they present diagnostic and treatment dilemmas for the clinician. However, this is a clinical problem that has been routinely ignored by researchers because of the diagnostic criteria before DSM-III-R, and the restrictive entry criteria in drug trials where patients must have one clearly defined illness.
