Penny, 23, indicаtes thаt she hаs suffered frоm these symptоms at least seven times in the past three years when she has what she calls her, episоdes. “When I get this way I am depressed every day and all day. There is nothing I enjoy at all, even stuff I always have fun doing. I lose weight, because there is nothing that I want to eat. I just drink water and eat ice, but it is because everything is unappealing. I can’t sleep and wander around the house cleaning things that I know are clean. But during the day, I just can’t get up. I feel so very heavy, like there are weights on my feet. I am so tired and fatigued when these things come on me. I also have such a feeling of worthlessness and guilt, like I am responsible for everything in the world that is wrong. I can’t concentrate or come to conclusions. And although I would never kill myself, I sometimes wonder why I go on when I have these episodes. It seems so pointless.” Penny meets criteria for what?
1. Celiа is а 26-yeаr-оld, single wоman whо works as a telephone customer relations agent at a bank. Ten months ago, she broke up with a man she had been dating for several years. A few weeks later, she had her first panic attack, which occurred suddenly while she was taking a shower in the morning before going to work. The second attack occurred about one month later, as she was sitting in her car about to run errands. After this attack, Celia began to experience panic attacks on a regular basis, approximately three to four times per week. She reports feeling persistently fearful of having further attacks. She has developed anxiety driving a car and standing in a supermarket line for fear of having an attack, and will only drive very slowly and only go the supermarket in the middle of the night. She has cut back on social activities, including dating, but reports that her job performance has not been significantly affected. During her attacks, Celia experiences an accelerated heart rate, shortness of breath, abdominal distress, sweating, faintness, and a fear of dying. These symptoms begin suddenly and dissipate within ten minutes. Celia has come to you looking for a way to treat these attacks so that she can move on with her life and resume her social activities. 2. John is a 42-year-old, married man who works as a teacher in the local school. Three months ago, after a late night scoring papers, he was walking to his parked car when he got attacked by a group of teenagers who grabbed his car keys, punched him repeatedly in the face and abdomen and drove away with his car. The car was found destroyed a couple of days later. John was examined and treated for broken ribs and was released the same day. His wife drove him to work a week following the incident but as they approached the parking lot, John started shaking, felt nauseous and asked his wife to drive him back home. He was not able to go back to school next day as well, and had to ask for a leave of absence for a month. He started having nightmares, was easily startled, experienced palpitations while in the family car, felt “removed from everything around (him)”, was irritable with his wife and daughters, and had trouble falling asleep. He reported that when he went back to work, he was not “himself;” the principal noted that his performance “was not what it used to be”.
