What is AGORAPHOBIA & What Can You Do About It? | Dr. Rami Nader

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder in which a person experiences high levels of fear or anxiety in a variety of different situations: using public transportation; being in wide open spaces; being in enclosed places; standing in a line or being in a crowd; and being outside of your home alone. When a person with Agoraphobia is in the situations, they begin to fear that something bad might happen and that they will not be able to escape or get help if something bad did happen. For a person with Agoraphobia, they experience anxiety in the situations almost every time they enter the situation and they often try to deal with the Agoraphobia either by avoiding the feared situations or by having someone with them in those feared Agoraphobia situations. Understandably, Agoraphobia can result in significant limitations in a person’s life and Agoraphobia can be a chronic condition, if it is not addressed or treated. The most effective treatment for Agoraphobia involves exposure therapy, to gradually enter the Agoraphobia situations and tolerate the distress and discomfort of being in those situations.
