In patients with panic disorder (n=23), daytime salivary cortisol levels were determined in 2-h spans on 3 consecutive days and compared with 23 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Additionally, nocturnal urinary free cortisol levels were measured. Daytime salivary cortisol levels were numerically higher in the patients, although the difference did not reach statistical significance. In a subgroup of 14 patients with higher illness severity (as expressed by a score >/=22 on the Panic and Agoraphobia Scale), salivary cortisol levels were significantly higher than in the controls. Mean nocturnal urinary cortisol levels were significantly higher in the whole group of patients and also in the more severely ill subgroup when compared with controls. Cortisol elevations seem to be more pronounced during the night and occurred mainly in more severely ill panic patients.
