What Is Agoraphobia?
8. Risk Factors
Nobody is completely safe from developing agoraphobia. It can affect people of all ages and from all walks of life. However, there are some demographics that are more likely to develop it than others. One of these includes people that have a close relative with the condition. People that have a generally nervous disposition are also more likely to develop the condition.
As mentioned, people that have experienced panic attacks in the past are most prone. This is especially those who are particularly afraid of having such attacks again. People that have been through traumatic experiences in their past are also more likely to develop agoraphobia.
