Which two diagnoses replaced the three DSM-IV diagnoses for Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia in DSM-5?

• A. Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia
• B. Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder without Agoraphobia
• C. Agoraphobia and Social Phobia
• D. Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder

Answer: (A)

In DSM-5, the classification of Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia was streamlined into two main diagnoses. Under DSM-IV there were three separate categories: Panic Disorder, Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia, and Agoraphobia. DSM-5 combines the Panic Disorder diagnoses into one disorder (Panic Disorder) with the presence or absence of Agoraphobia noted, and treats Agoraphobia as its own disorder when fear and avoidance center on certain places or situations. So the two diagnoses that replaced the three DSM-IV categories are Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia.
