[Diagnostic aspects of anxiety disorders].
A concise review is presented of epidemiological, family- and genetic studies in anxiety disorders. Special emphasis is given to recent developments in the classification of anxiety disorders. The literature in which a more central role of panic attacks is suggested, is critically reviewed. Based upon the studies reviewed it is questionable whether the diagnosis agoraphobia without panic attacks is justified.
