title: Panic-agoraphobic spectrum symptoms in complicated grief.
abstract: Little is known about the presence and role of subclinical anxiety symptoms and traits in complicated grief (CG). Data from adults with CG (n=28) suggest that they experience more panic-spectrum symptoms (PSS) than bereaved controls (n=44), and that the presence of greater PSS is independently associated with poorer quality of life.
