What is Agoraphobia?
Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which a person experiences intense fear and anxiety in situations where they perceive it may be difficult or embarrassing to escape, or where help may not be readily available in case of any physical symptoms, such as palpitation, restlessness, rapid heart rate, dizziness, breathing trouble, etc.
This fear often leads to avoidance of certain places or situations, which can significantly impact a person’s ability to function in their daily life. Agoraphobia often develops in response to a traumatic or stressful experience, such as a panic attack, or after a period of prolonged stress.
Individuals with agoraphobia typically experience a variety of symptoms, including:
Fear of leaving their home for extended periods of time
Fear of being alone in social situations
Fear of losing control in public places
Fear of being in enclosed spaces where it would be difficult to escape, such as a car or elevator
A strong anxiety and detachment or estrangement from others
Disclaimer: If these symptoms of fear, anxiety, or avoidance cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning, and last for at least 6 months or longer, it might be considered a disorder.
