title: 11-year-old boy with panic disorder responding to paroxetine.
abstract: We experienced an 11-year-old boy with panic disorder responding remarkably to paroxetine. Only a few studies have reported the clinical application of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on children with panic disorder. In Japan, there are reports of child depression, autism, and school phobia; no study has focused on paroxetine treatment for children with panic disorder. Therefore, the case is discussed in this study.
