Recent research found that greater reliance on avoidant and escape coping correlated with poorer QOL among individuals with neurotic spectrum disorders , and experiential av...
Anxiety disorders are highly comorbid with substance use disorders , and prior research has shown that individuals with anxiety who regularly use or abuse substances (e.g., alcohol and/or drugs) report lower QOL than those who do not use substances [44, 45].

Specifically, individuals with PD or subthreshold panic symptoms were more likely to utilize med...
