Panic attack, source needed[edit]

Hi -- I'm afraid you're going to have to specify the source for the information in the paragraph you added. I won't remove it immediately (although somebody else might), but it can't stay there without something to verify it. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 21:18, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It has the same reference as the first paragraph. I added that. This page desperately needs an expert to edit it, especially the part entitled Increased risk of heart attack and stroke in menopausal women, which is unnecessarily alarming and highly questionable despite two footnotes on tiny studies. Some pages can publish erroneous information and it is not that important, but in this case erroneous medical information can cause more panic in readers seeking information on panic disorder. Thanks, Christinedoby (talk) 00:27, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Those two tiny studies would not meet the standard source criterion for medical articles (WP:MEDRS), so you should actually feel free to remove that part if you think it shouldn't be there -- although it would be a good idea to say first on the talk page that you intend to do it, since people are often suspicious of removal of material by new editors. Thanks for answering. Looie496 (talk) 00:32, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Duly noted. Christinedoby (talk) 00:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My research shows that the citation for footnote 18 should be: Smoller, Jordan W., MD CsD, et al, Archives of General Psychiatry, 2007; 64(10):1153-1160. http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/64/10/1153 I don't have the expertise to know whether the way the article was summed up is an accurate representation of the information in the article. The article is very technical and very iffey. It is questionable to me. The Wikipedia version seems to indicate that panic disorder damages a healthy heart and puts a sufferer at risk of dying within 5 years; whereas, it seems more likely that it is unhealthy hearts that are overstressed by panic disorder manifestations, such as adrenalin, oxygen deprivation and racing heart beat, in which case it is reasonable to put panic disorder on the list of items that may cause a heart attack or stroke, possibly resulting in death. Again, the original Smoller article is medically technical. I don't want to attribute the Wikipedia article to this citation because I don't know if it is an accurate representation of that article. It is probable that the Wikipedia writer was quoting the NY Times, which was quoting Reuters, which adds more room for misrepresentation. What would you recommend to this novice editor?
