What Is Agoraphobia?
4. Fears
Agoraphobia typically manifests as a fear of being in particular situations. Different scenarios can leave them feeling extremely anxious. This can even mean day to day scenarios such as leaving the home alone to shop at a nearby store. Many people with the condition have difficulty leaving the home at all.
A lot of people with the condition will also have difficulties when in enclosed spaces. This can include small stores, elevators, and public spaces. Likewise, open spaces such as parks and large malls can trigger an attack. Problems tend to arise when the patient feels as though their symptoms can be a problem for them and that there is no way for them to escape.
