title: Comparison of DSM-III personality disorders in recovered depressed and panic disorder patients.
abstract: A previous report using non-DSM-III measures indicated that recovered panic disorder and recovered major depressive patients have similar personality traits. To replicate this finding on DSM-III measures, 57 recovered panic, 19 recovered depressed, and 40 normal subjects were compared on standardized DSM-III personality measures. Virtually no differences were found between recovered major depression and recovered panic disorder patients. However, these two groups did differ from normal subjects in that they were more socially insecure and dependent.
