Abstract

The author investigates the evolution of relationships between epidemiology and diagnostic classifications. The scope of neurotic disorders is considerably broader than the scope of anxiety disorders in the DSM IIIR, despite the introduction of new concepts such as panic disorder. Epidemiological studies require today diagnostic instruments based on structured interviews. They provide more homogeneous groups of patients. The recognition of the importance of the anxiety disorder's prevalence is a prerequisite for improving both therapeutic and prophylactic interventions.
