Aim: Persons with type D personality have been shown to be predisposed to depression and anxiety disorders. However, to our knowledge, there are no studies which have investigated the relationship between panic disorder (PD) and type D personality. Our aim in the current study was to determine whether PD was associated with Type D personality, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and somatosensory amplification by comparing the characteristics of patients with and without PD.

Methods: We designed a questionnaire based case-control study. The study group included 100 patients with panic disorder, and control group consisted of 100 healthy individuals. Sociodemographic Data Form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Type D Personality Scale (DS14), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS) were carried out for each participant.

Results: The patient and control groups were found to be similar in terms of sex, marriage status, education status and employment status. Compared to the control group, scores for BAI (P<0.01), BDI (P<0.01), CTQ (P<0.01), DS-14 (P<0.01) were found to be significantly higher in the patient group. The frequency of Type D personality was also higher in the patient group.

Conclusion: Our findings show that patients with PD have significantly higher scores in anxiety, depression, Type D Personality, CTQ total scores measures compared to controls. We did not find any associations between PD and somatosensory amplification. We believe our findings will contribute significantly to the limited literature on this topic.

Amaç: D tipi kişiliğe sahip kişilerin depresyon ve anksiyete bozukluklarına yatkın oldukları gösterilmiştir. Ancak, bildiğimiz kadarıyla panik bozukluğu ve D tipi kişilik arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran hiçbir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada amacımız, Panik bozukluk tanısı olan ve olmayan hastaların özelliklerini karşılaştırarak Panik bozukluğun D Tipi kişilik, kaygı, depresyon, bedensel duyumları abartma ve çocukluk çağı travmaları ile ilişkili olup olmadığını belirlemekti.

Yöntemler: Anket bazlı bir vaka kontrol çalışması tasarladık. Çalışmaya panik bozukluğu olan 100 kişi ve 100 sağlıklı kişi dahil edildi. Her bir katılımcıya Sosyodemografik Veri Formu, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ), Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ), D Tipi Kişilik Ölçeği (DS-14), Çocukluk Çağı Travma Ölçeği (ÇÇTÖ) ve Bedensel Duyumları abartma Ölçeği (BDAÖ) yapıldı.

Bulgular: Olgu ve kontrol gruplarının cinsiyet, evlilik durumu, eğitim ve çalışma durumu açısından farklılık olmadığı bulundu. Hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre BAÖ (P<0.01); BDÖ (P<0.01); ÇÇTÖ (P<0.01); DS-14 (P<0.01) anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. D Tipi kişilik sıklığı da hasta grubunda daha yüksekti.

Sonuç: Bulgularımız, Panik bozukluğu olan hastaların anksiyete, depresyon, D Tipi Kişilik, Çocukluk çağı travmatik yaşantıları toplam puanları kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak yüksektir. Panik bozukluk ve bedensel duyumları abartma arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulamadık. Bulgularımızın bu konudaki sınırlı literatüre önemli katkı sağlayacağına inanıyoruz.
