Patient comorbid with social phobia and panic disorder: a) have an earlier panic disorder age of onset (p < 0.05); b) have more major depressive disorders (p < 0.01); c) more obsessive compulsive disorders (p < 0.05); d) higher scores in all SCL-90 subscales, except for phobias; e) more severity in the social phobia scale from the Fear Questionnaire of Marks & Mathews.
