I researched my phobia, and I think it’s called agoraphobia. I’m not afraid of open spaces, but I am of going out in public. I’m 18, and I want to get a job to earn some money, because my parents don’t want me to be a in the house all day being lazy. I see the news, and I see innocent people getting attacked, or robbed, and I fear that I would be assaulted in the street. How can I over come this feeling?

Agoraphobia is one of the more restricting and depressing conditions related to panic attacks. While some people know it as a fear of open spaces it is actually a fear of a loss of control where the sufferer will panic once they leave a place of control and security which is usually their own home which leads to the misconception about open spaces. So ‘how to overcome agoraphobia’ actually means ‘how to remain calm when not in total control of a situation’ and while most agoraphobia treatments know this they tend to approach it in the wrong way.

I had it when I was younger and it somehow became managable in my early twenties. I am 38 now and it has come back, I will have treatment this time and was wondering how it is treated and how long it will take to respond to it. I was diagnosed with ptsd about 10 yrs. ago and recently was diagnosed with the agoraphobia also social phobia, panic disorder and anxiety disorder. Is all of this just different aspects of the ptsd? Please help, this is horrible and lonely, if you have experienced this I would like to hear from you. Thanks.

Hi. I am 16, 6ft, and weight about 235 pounds. I am very fat, and I am desperate to lose weight, to build confidence.

I have agoraphobia and anxiety, and it is very hard for me to go out and exercise or join the gym. Is there anyway that I can lose weight then in the house. All I have are light weights. So, is there anyway to lose weight. Or could I lose weight walking around my park for an hour four times a week?

Thanks

Agoraphobia has been considered a serious condition by many, across the globe. The condition has also been referred to as one of the most depressing and restricting conditions associated with a problem of panic attack. One of the major problems with this condition is that it has been misinterpreted as a fear of open places. However, the truth is that it is a fear associated to loss of control. The patient tends to panic as soon as they exit a place of security and control. The sufferers consider home as this place.

When treated from an early stage, Agoraphobia can be cured easily. However, since a lot of people are unable to recognize the symptoms, they reach a stage where the condition becomes worse and they tend to fear whether or not cure is possible.

Agoraphobia – the fear of leaving a familiar place (ie house, bedroom). This is a crippling mental disease and those who have it may never get rid of it. I need music that will be haunting, passionate, and frustrated at the same time.

When most of us think about mental disorders, it’s easy to assume that only certain types of people are prone to experience these conditions. As anyone with experience in this territory will tell you, this is not the case. One of the more common mental disorders is agoraphobia, which is a condition that can truly strike anyone already prone to panic tacks. You might decide to obtain agoraphobia treatment, but first you have to understand what exactly you are dealing with.

Many people believe that agoraphobia is just a fear of leaving your house, or going outside. This is true to an extent, and it can also be viewed as a subset of a panic attack. If you experience this condition, you often don’t want to go places for fear of bringing on a frightening attack. Panic attacks often come first, before agoraphobia starts to develop. But this is not always the case, so be sure to monitor the situations that lead to your symptoms.
