title: [Assessment of sexuality in patients diagnosed as having an anxiety attack-induced disorder (sexuality in patients with anxiety-induced disorder].
abstract: Throughout the history of Psychiatry, it is a well known fact the importance of sexuality in Anxiety Disorders. The authors study in a sample of 90 persons, 45 diagnosed as Panic Disorder and 45 controls, several aspects of psychosexuality and its correlationship with anxiety levels, measured by Zung Anxiety Scale and AMDP-AT Scale. The results show that Panic Disorder patients suffer, in a significative way, from a poor psychosexual adjustment, lower levels of satisfaction and higher feelings of guilt in relation to sexuality. There are also differences between Panic Disorder patients with and without agoraphobia.
