Pragmatic Aspects

This paper describes speaking practices enacted by young female in-patients during psychotherapy sessions. The patients are in treatment for anxiety and panic disorders (social phobias). The practices involve prosodic, lexical, and pragmatic aspects of utterance construction. An effect that they share is that the speaker’s embodied presence in her talk and her epistemic commitment to it are reduced as the utterance progresses. The practices are interpreted in light of Bateson’s interactional theory of character formation: as elements of a self-sustaining system Angst (anxiety). The study has grown out of an interdisciplinary effort to explore possible relationships between types of anxiety and the communicative and linguistic patterns by which patients describe panic attacks and other highly emotional experiences.

Partial seizures can be misdiagnosed as panic attacks. There is considerable overlap of symptoms between temporal lobe seizures and panic attacks making the diagnosis extremely challenging. Temporal lobe seizures can present with intense fear and autonomic symptoms which are also seen in panic disorders. This results in delay in diagnosis and management. We report an interesting case of a young woman who was diagnosed with right temporal lobe seizures with symptoms suggestive of a panic attack.

The aim of this study was to examine clinicodynamical characteristics of clinical course of alcohol addiction and panic disorders. Patients (n = 214) with comorbidity of alcoholism and panic disorder were included in this study.Defined and described were 4 clinical variants of associated course of these diseases that differ in formation order, cause-effect relations between alcohol abuse and panic disorder, clinical features and course of alcoholism and panic attacks, further development of double pathology.The first group included patients with full abstinence from alcohol for no less than one year by reason of panic attacks during alcohol withdrawal syndrome. The second group consisted of patients whose panic attacks were followed by ingesting considerable doses of alcohol in order to release anxiety, which resulted in the bout of heavy drinking. Episodic paroxysmal alcohol ingestion was typical in patients from the third group. Ingestion of considerable doses of alcohol leaded to panic attacks, the following abstinence from alcohol (6 months in average) was based on fear of reiteration of panic disorder. The forth group included patients with panic attacks during clinical remission of alcohol addiction who used alcohol to ease the panic symptoms. This resulted in the heavy alcoholism recurrence.The results of the study can serve as a basis for working out programs of differential therapy for above-mentioned patients.The study is supported by the President's Grant Mκ-2670.2008.7.

Respiratory panic attacks and COVID-19 Contact details: Kotova O.V. — PhD (medicine), Associate Professor of the Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatic Pathology Address: 45 Dubninskaya St., building 1, apt. 1, Moscow, Russian Federation, 127174, tel.: +7-903-117-99-83, e-mail: [email protected] The unpredictability of the COVID-19 spread and the pandemic has led to a loss of self-control in many people, to anxiety and panic. Social restrictions due to the new coronavirus infection also negatively affected the mental and social well-being of the population. Under these conditions, the mental disorders incidence, including panic disorders, has increased significantly and has attracted attention to this problem as one of the current pandemic consequences. Panic attacks can have a significant respiratory component. In such cases, panic attacks are called respiratory attacks, and their clinical manifestations may be similar to some of the COVID-19 symptoms. For example, coughing and breathlessness are common in coronavirus infection and are potentially considered by patients as а high risk symptoms of an adverse outcome, and cause fear of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Due to the possibility of the increase of the respiratory panic attacks prevalence after the COVID-19 pandemic has regressed, the relevance of timely detection and adequate treatment of panic disorder is increasing.

Fear Of Public Speaking

Panic and phobic disorders are among the most common psychiatric syndromes. Panic disorder is a chronic illness characterized by recurrent, acute panic attacks, which are discrete episodes of anxiety or fearfulness with definite onset, rapid increase, and spontaneous termination. Phobic disorder is a chronic condition dominated by one or more phobias. Different types of phobias include specific phobias (e.g., fear of animals), social phobias (e.g., fear of public speaking), and agoraphobia (fear of being in places where help might not be available in the event of an anxiety attack). Panic disorder and agoraphobia are currently diagnosed independently of one another, but previously these diagnoses were linked diagnostically (panic disorder with or without agoraphobia and agoraphobia without panic disorder).

SummaryCannabis has been reported to produce acute psychiatric reactions, among these panic anxiety and derealization, which are self-limited. We report on three patients who experienced an initial panic attack during cannabis intake. Anxiety attacks reoccurred after the cessation of intake. Two of these patients had a current depressive disorder, one of them had a single Grand Mal seizure before the onset. We suggest that cannabis may trigger the emergence of recurrent panic attacks and uncover latent panic disorders in vulnerable persons.

Dexamethasone Suppression

The tricyclic antidepressants and the monoamine oxidase inhibitors have been shown to be effective in the treatment of some patients with phobic and panic disorders. To explain this action it has been suggested that a number of these patients may have an atypical biological depression. In an attempt to test this hypothesis we used the dexamethasone suppression test (DST), which has been proposed as a state dependent biological marker of depression. We compared the non-suppression rate of agoraphobic patients suffering panic attacks with controls and with patients suffering major depression. Twenty-nine per cent of the agoraphobics showed non-suppression compared with 12% of the control group and 64% of the depressives.
