Résumé :
The authors have investigated the frequency of illicit drug use,and spontaneous and drug-provoked panic disorder symptoms in Hungarian youths. A semi-structured self-reporting questionnaire (with questions about drug usage and the persistence of some DSM-lV panic disorder symptoms) was filled out in discos/nightclubs, secondary schools and universities. Almost 17% of the total sample (n = 1 298) reported on illicit drug-use at least once in their life, and this rate was significantly higher among males. Regardless of the illegal drug use 14.6% of the total sample reported on four or more DSM-IV symptoms of panic disorder, and this rate was significantly higher among females. Analyzing the panic disorder symptoms only among drug-users (n = 219), the frequency of persons with four or more anxiety symptoms was 14.1 % before drug use, and it increased to 30.6% during the period of drug use (P < 0,001). The findings suppose previous results showing (i) higher prevalence of anxiety symptoms among females; (ii) higher rate of Illicit drug use among males; and (iii) a possible anxiety-provoking effect of illicit drugs.
