Abstract
Deficits in olfactory identification ability have been reported in some groups of psychiatric patients, but not others. Our study examined olfactory identification ability in patients with panic disorder. Results indicate that this ability is intact in this population and, further, that psychotropic medications appear not to interfere with olfaction.
