  • Title: Age at onset, precipitating events, sex distribution, and co-occurrence of anxiety disorders.
    Author: Scheibe G, Albus M.
    Journal: Psychopathology; 1992; 25(1):11-8. PubMed ID: 1603905.
    Abstract:
    178 outpatients were administered to a structured interview evaluating diagnostic, illness history, and sociodemographic data of DSM-III-R anxiety disorders. Patients with panic disorder with agoraphobia were a more severely ill subgroup than patients with panic disorder without agoraphobia. Simple and social phobia had the earliest age at onset, panic disorder the latest age at onset. Conjugal stress was the most frequent event preceding the onset of the anxiety disorders. Female patients showed more severe impairment suffering more frequently from concomitant phobic avoidance, generalized anxiety, and depression compared to male patients.
