What Is Agoraphobia? Health Live

According to the National Institutes of Health, agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear or anxiety when one is in situations where escape might be difficult or help may not be readily available. This condition often manifests in public or crowded places, such as shopping malls, public transportation, or large events. Individuals with agoraphobia may avoid these situations to prevent experiencing distressing symptoms. The fear of having a panic attack or other debilitating symptoms in such environments can lead to significant avoidance behavior, impacting daily functioning and quality of life. Treatment for agoraphobia typically involves a combination of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medication to help manage anxiety and improve coping strategies.
