Patients with panic disorder are frequently medicated when they participate in psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The present study examined the effects of overall medication status, medication type (benzodiazepine versus antidepressant), and medication dose in a large sample of patients with panic disorder (N = 178) participating in CBT. Overall, medications exhibited very little effect on outcome. After controlling for the effects of CBT, however, taking higher doses of antidepressants was associated with poorer end-state functioning. Results are discussed in relation to better understanding the role of combining psychopharmacological and psychosocial treatments for panic disorder.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy models are evolving to take into account the impact of physiological responses on client distress and the secondary role of conscious cognitions and beliefs in perpetuating distress and dysfunction. This article presents an accessible and practical description of a neuroscience-informed cognitive-behavior therapy model, in the hope that readers will learn how to apply this model in practice.
