Although complete blood count (CBC) parameters in panic disorder (PD) are frequently studied, there is no data on panic attacks (PA). In this retrospective study, CBC parameters of patients diagnosed with PD (n=63) and PA (n=61) were compared with the data of healthy subjects (n=41). The groups were similar in terms of age (p=0.395) and gender (p=0.567). There were significant differences between the PD and the PA groups in terms of percentage of lymphocyte (p
