Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The Panic Disorder Severity Scale

The heart rate variability is the physiological recordings of the variation in the time interval between consecutive heartbeats in milliseconds
The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression
The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression is a depression assessment scale and contains 17 items pertaining to symptoms of depression experienced over the past week
The State and Trait Anxiety questionnaire
The State and Trait Anxiety questionnaire is has 20 items for assessing trait anxiety and 20 for state anxiety
