Although imipramine is one of the antidepressants that could be effective in the treatment of panic disorder, data on its usage for this diagnosis in the pregnancy period are limited. This report presents the results of 16 pregnant women with panic disorder without comorbid diagnosis who underwent low-dose imipramine (10-40 mg/d) treatment. According to the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement Scale, 12 (75%) of 16 women responded to the treatment. The results suggest that low-dose imipramine may be useful for the treatment of panic disorder during pregnancy.

Depress Anxiety
January 2025
Division of Public Health Sciences, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Background: Individuals with mental health disorders face major barriers in accessing smoking cessation care, often due to the stigmas associated with mental disorders and addiction. Consequently, accessible population-based smoking cessation interventions are needed for this vulnerable group.
Objective: This secondary analysis utilized data from a 12-month randomized trial to examine whether an acceptance and commitment therapy-based app (iCanQuit) demonstrated greater efficacy, engagement, and satisfaction compared to a United States (US) Clinical Practice Guidelines-based app (QuitGuide) in helping adults with mental health disorders quit smoking.
Background: Understanding variables that influence therapy outcomes can improve the results of interventions and reduce socio-health costs. The current study examined possible predictors and moderators of outcome (age, gender, duration of panic disorder, motivation to change, conscientiousness, and experiential avoidance) in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Method: Eighty participants with a diagnosis of panic disorder, 56 women and 24 men, with an average age of 38 years, received 12 group sessions of CBT or ACT.
