    Abstract:
    Secondary depressive symptomatology in 435 subjects with panic disorder and phobic avoidance was studied before and after alprazolam treatment. No subject who had a primary affective disorder was included. Calculation of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale factor scores revealed that the agitation/anxiety, sleep disturbance, and somatization factors accounted for approximately 75% of the HAM-D total score; these all showed significant improvement with alprazolam treatment. There were few differences in dimensions of depressive symptomatology between those subjects with and those without major depression; the main difference was in the overall intensity of the depression.
