Setting Primary care physician's (PCP) waiting-room, with immediate administration of inventories in the waiting room, under direct supervision of one Author (EG). <jats:bold>Main outcome measures<\/jats:bold> \u2013 Self-administered inventories as GHQ-12, STAI-Y1-Y2, <jats:italic>Panic Attack and Anticipatory Scale<\/jats:italic>. <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold> \u2013 Out of 409 subjects attending PCP's office during the recruitment period, 327 gave their oral consensus and 305 completed their assignments, constituting our sample. The 21.3% (65 cases) of our sample has shown panic symptoms in the last month. This subgroup with panic is significantly younger and more educated than the subgroup without panic. Moreover the female to male ratio is 2.6:1. Significant differences had been found in the health perception, which is negatively affected by the presence of panic attacks and by GHQ-12 and STAI-Y1-Y2 total scores. These scores are significantly higher than those from panicless patients. <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold> \u2013 Our survey highlights that at least one of five patients visited by the PCP is on average suffering from panic symptoms. This might be related to the well-known physical components of panic symptomatology, but also to the increasing importance of the involved sub-threshold elements.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Declaration of Interest<\/jats:bold>: no forms of support from any companies.
