| Résumé : |
Four children with panic disorder, two boys and two girls between the ages of nine and 16 years, are discussed. They presented with complaints suggesting neurological disorder: 'dizziness', headache, episodic anxiety and 'blackout spells'. Neurological examinations and investigations were normal. Depression and/or anxiety were prominent in all cases. Drug treatment and psychotherapy were of some benefit. Four other children with attention deficit disorders are presented, whose mothers have panic disorder. This association points towards common biochemical influences and suggests that tricyclic drugs may be preferable to CNS stimulants as a form of treatment. |
