TL;DR
Clinical and familial differences between the groups are described, and patients with both depression and panic attacks had the poorest outcome, and were most likely to be chronically depressed.
Abstract
Patients with anxiety and depressive states were divided into 4 groups: those with panic attacks only, those with panic disorder and secondary depression, those with depression and secondary panic attacks, and those with depression only. Clinical and familial differences between the groups are described. Patients with both depression and panic attacks had the poorest outcome, and were most likely to be chronically depressed.
