What Is Agoraphobia?
3. Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is a condition that causes what is known as panic attacks. It causes the patient to experience extreme fear and anxiety even in situations when there is no immediate threat. It can happen without warning and it can be severe enough to have a considerable impact on the quality of the patient’s life.
Panic attacks can be extremely harrowing experiences for the patient, making them desperate to avoid them again. This can make the patient quite anxious when it comes to facing certain situations that might possibly trigger another attack. This means that people that have had panic attacks in the past can also sometimes experience agoraphobia.
