    Author: Korn ML, Kotler M, Molcho A, Botsis AJ, Grosz D, Chen C, Plutchik R, Brown SL, van Praag HM.
    Journal: Biol Psychiatry; 1992 Mar 15; 31(6):607-12. PubMed ID: 1581440.
    Abstract:
    Several studies have indicated that patients with panic attacks have a higher rate of suicide attempts as well as deaths from suicide. Additionally, several investigators have presented case reports of individuals manifesting suicidal and violent behaviors directly and temporally associated with panic attacks. We report on four additional cases and suggest that these findings may explain, in part, the increased rate of suicidal behavior among patients with panic attacks found by some investigators. Furthermore, these case reports offer preliminary evidence that the relationship between violent behavior and the panic state may be clinically significant and deserving of further elucidation.
