J Affect Disord. 1992 Oct;26(2):85-8. doi: 10.1016/0165-0327(92)90038-8.

Abstract

The majority of 20 patients suffering from panic disorder with agoraphobia reported experiencing agoraphobic avoidance, generalized anxiety, and/or hypochondriacal fears and beliefs before the first panic attack. The results replicated those of a previous investigation and are in accordance with an increasing number of studies concerned with prodromal symptoms, epidemiologic surveys, and analysis of mechanisms of change upon treatment.
