  • Title: Phenomenology and neurobiology of social phobia: comparison with panic disorder.
    Author: Uhde TW, Tancer ME, Black B, Brown TM.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1991 Nov; 52 Suppl():31-40. PubMed ID: 1757454.
    Abstract:
    Like panic disorder, social phobia is a common, frequently severe, anxiety disorder that can cause significant work and social impairment. Unlike panic disorder, social phobia has only recently begun to undergo neurobiologic study and to receive pharmacotherapeutic attention. There is a high comorbidity between social phobia and panic disorder; however, many differences exist--including age at onset, gender distribution, contextual framework of anxiety, help-seeking and help-avoidance behavior, quality of sleep and sleep patterns, caffeine and lactate sensitivity, and, most probably, pharmacologic responses. Social phobia can now be included among the growing number of anxiety disorders that respond to pharmacotherapy.
