Abstract
Our previous report showed that out of 100 patients who were diagnosed as Panic Disorder with or without agoraphobia, 34 patients fulfilled the criteria of Major Depression (DSM-IV), in whom 22 patients (62.5%) showed Atypical Depression. Clinical characteristics of Anxious Depression in Panic disorder was abstractly described. Clinical portraits of a mother having Anxious Depression in Panic Disorder and her 2 daughters, both of whom had Atypical Depression with agoraphobia and incomplete panic attacks, were reported. These cases suggested a pathogenetical relationship existing between some Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and Atypical Depression.
