Abstract
After a short description of panic attacks and panic disorder we discuss ps ychiatric, cardiologic and neurologic co-morbidity and the treatment result s of psychotherapy and psychopharmacotherapy. We recommend the combination of brief cognitive-behavioural or psychadynamic psychotherapy with a select ive serotonin re-uptake inhibitor for the short term and also a relapse pre ventive long-term strategy.
