I'm glad that we did meet by phone and that she graciously allowed me to conduct this candid interview with her. I learned a great deal from her, and I suspect you will too.

This article is excerpted by permission from the book, Panic Disorder: The Medical Point of View, by William D. Kernodle, M.D. This section pertains to "Key Points About Panic Disorder."

In an effort to share more of such information with our readers, we are pleased to provide this article.
