Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agoraphobia is a common co-occurring disorder with panic disorder, as individuals with panic disorder often develop a fear of being in situations or places where escape may be difficult if a panic attack were to occur. Agoraphobia can worsen the effects of panic disorder and make it difficult for individuals to leave their homes or participate in daily activities. While other disorders such as ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder have been linked to anxiety disorders, they are not as strongly associated with panic disorder specifically.
