What Is Agoraphobia?
5. Avoidance or Endurance
People with agoraphobia will tend to either avoid certain situations, or endure them when they are given little choice. Some might insist that they have a friend or family member with them and decide against going through with situations if they don’t have that support.
Some people will choose to endure the situation in the knowledge that it can make them feel very uncomfortable. Regardless of which choices are made, patients will experience anxiety that is not justified by the circumstances they find themselves in. These factors can make it very difficult in regards to the patient’s social life and professional life.
