Functioning and well-being of patients with panic disorder
CD Sherbourne, KB Wells and LL Judd
RAND, Santa Monica, CA 90407-2138, USA.
OBJECTIVE: The authors compared the health-related quality of life of
patients with panic disorder to that of patients with other major chronic
medical and psychiatric conditions. METHOD: The physical and mental health
of a group of 433 patients with current panic disorder and 9,839
outpatients with psychiatric or medical disorders were assessed with the
20- and 36-item short-form surveys of the Medical Outcomes Study. After
controlling for other disease conditions, demographics, and study site, the
authors used multiple regression methods to estimate health-related quality
of life levels for panic disorder patients and patients with hypertension,
diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, chronic lung problems, and major
depression. RESULTS: Patients with panic disorder had levels of mental
health and role functioning that were substantially lower than those of
patients with other major chronic medical illnesses but were higher than or
comparable to those of patients with depression. However, their physical
functioning levels and perceptions of current health were more like those
of patients with hypertension and were similar to general population norms.
CONCLUSIONS: Panic disorder is a serious societal health problem with large
consequences, and it affects primarily psychological and role domains.
