FSP-Übung 06: Panikstörung

FSP Practice 06: Panic disorder (Markus Schneider, 42 years) – Practice case for the Fachsprachprüfung featuring a concise case vignette about recurrent sudden panic attacks with palpitations, shortness of breath and fear of dying.

During episodes, there is pronounced anxiety with concentration problems; between attacks, a mildly depressed mood is reported. Past medical history includes arterial hypertension (treated with ramipril) as well as nicotine use and regular alcohol consumption.

Overall, the case suggests an anxiety disorder (panic attacks) in the context of psychosocial stress. The document links to an audio simulation and a sample medical letter. It also includes a history-taking worksheet to fill out and mnemonics for a structured anamnesis, including psychosomatic/mental-health focused prompts (e.g., mood, anxiety/drive, stressors, thoughts of fainting/death, and psychiatric history), plus vegetative symptoms, past medical/surgical history, medications/allergies, social/substance use, and family history.

Ideal for preparing for the patient interview, structured anamnesis, and writing the Arztbrief in the FSP.
