Who is the first person to diagnose panic disorder?
Who was the first to discover panic disorder?? Well, your question is not very clear. Do you mean who is the first person to actually diagnose and give the name 'panic disorder' to this condition? or do you mean who was the first person to actually 'develop' panic disorder?? Panic disorder is when a person has been suffering one month or more from panic attacks, and has been worried about the reoccurance of these attacks. I should think that people have been suffering from this disorder for many years - particuarly stressed people or perfectionists. The term panic disorder is just a follow on from panic attacks. No-one 'discovered' panic attacks or panic disorder. You make it sound like the discovery of a new unfound island or country!

Is there a connection between abuse and panic disorder?
I'm not a psychologist but common sense tells me that there is a connection between abuse and panic disorder. Why? Because abuse causes fear and panic disorder is what: Fear! So, having taken that first step in connecting the abuse with a panic disorder, you've made huge progress. Now you can move on to learning to forgive the abuser and putting the fear behind you. Once you've totally forgiven the person and have no more reason to fear him (or her) and no more reason to hold it against him (because you've forgiven him), you free yourself and hopefully your fears and phobias will subside. BUT, oftentimes panic disorder, anxiety and phobias are caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Medicine can help that. And psychological counseling can help you deal with any environmental factors such as abuse or other issues (such as post traumatic stress disorder) that may feed anxiety.
