I agree with you that schizophrenia is probably the most debilitating disorder, even more so than bipolar (simply because there are usually remissions). I think he was referring to pure numbers, is it 5-6% of the population that has panic/anxiety versus 1 or 2% with schizophrenia? Please correct me if I'm wrong. For someone like me who suffers from both bipolar and panic, quite honestly during my really agoraphobic periods I am more debilitated then when manic or depressed. I realize SA is an axis 2, just wanted to emphasize that personality disorders (and as a former patient with borderline who still has many of the traits) can be pretty damn bad and warrent SSD. Take care, judy
