Andrade, L, Eaton, W. W., & Chilcoat, H. D. (1996). Lifetime co-morbidity of panic attacks and major depression in a    
    population-based study: Age of onset. Psychological Medicine, 5, 991-996.

    This article focused on the link between panic attacks and depression. It showed that the onset of one of the disorders increases the chance of the individual developing the other disorder, especially females who have twice the risk as men.
    I found this article helpful because I'm still currently developing my topic. I would like my main focus to be on the prevalance of panic attacks in relation to another mental disorder. (I'm debating between depersonalization/derealization and depression). This article shows how interrelated panic attacks and depression actually are.
