What is the best way to treat panic disorder, drugs, psychotherapy, or both? I would bet on both. If not both, then in the long run I would bet on psychotherapy.
Cochrane reviews looked at the studies of which there are very few. The conclusion is that there is not enough good evidence to make a conclusion.
As a psychotherapist, I can tell you that psychotherapy is far more effective although I find that using benzodiazepines can be helpful in controlling extreme symptoms and giving patients a sense of control.
