Rhonnie,
Sorry for the delay. I enlisted help from our on site doctor. Here is what he had to say:
The symptoms of depression and GAD frequently occur together. Panic attacks are common in depression and the symptoms of panic disorder and GAD also frequently occur.
It is not uncommon for people to have symptoms of all three. Professionals usually try to use as few labels as possible even though sometimes all three diagnoses might seem to "fit."
Then professionals usually spend time trying to figure out which problem came first and which problem is the biggest problem.
Panic and GAD often go together. Often it seems that people with panic disorder develop GAD(chronic worry) over time.
Rhonnie, hope this helps clarify your question. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Josie

Hi Rhonnie how are you?
I have wondered what the difference is between PD & GAD. I'll be checking back to see what Josie has to say.
I hope you are doing good!!
Chanda
Rhonnie,
I am investing in some clarification for you. I will get back to you, with the findings as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Josie

Hi can someone please clarify something for me. I was diagnosed with panic disorder,generalized anxiety disorder and depression. I'm currently reading Beyond Anxiety and Phobia by Edmund J. Bourne and he writes that GAD is characterized by chronic anxiety that persists for at least 6 months but is unaccompanied by panic attacks. I'm confused!!
