Stress disorders affect more women than men by a difference of about 2 or 3 percent.
Fluoxetine (Prozac®), sertraline (Zoloft®), escitalopram (Lexapro®), paroxetine (Paxil®), and citalopram (Celexa®) are some of the SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) commonly prescribed for panic disorder, OCD and PTSD.
Panic disorder strikes between 3 and 6 million Americans, and is twice as common in women as in men.
Panic attacks often begin in late adolescence or early adulthood, but not everyone who experiences panic attacks will develop panic disorder.
