description | OBJECTIVE: Mental health problems such as anxiety, panic, and depression have been exacerbated by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to compare the symptom severities and overall function before and during the COVID-19 pandemic among patients with panic disorder (PD) seeking treatment compared to healthy controls (HCs). METHODS: Baseline data were collected from the two groups (patients with PD and HCs) in two separate periods: before COVID-19 (Jan 2016–Dec 2019) and during COVID-19 (Mar 2020–Jul 2022). A total 453 participants (before COVID-19: 246 [139 patients with PD and 107 HCs], during COVID-19: 207 [86 patients with PD and 121 HCs]) was included. Scales for panic and depressive symptoms and overall function were administered. Additionally, network analyses were performed to compare the two groups within the patients with PD. RESULTS: The results of two-way analysis of variance analyses showed that patients with PD enrolled during COVID-19 showed higher levels of interoceptive fear and lower overall functioning. In addition, a network comparison test revealed that a significantly high strength and expected influence for agoraphobia and avoidance in patients with PD during COVID-19. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that the overall function could have worsened, and the importance of agoraphobia and avoidance as a central symptom may have increased in patients with PD seeking treatment during COVID-19. |
