Agoraphobia is
derived from the Latin word agora which means outdoor market, is a phobia with
basic fears derived from feelings of being trapped in a public place, when a
person will find it difficult to escape, and fear will not be available if
someone has a panic attack.
Although most people think that Agoraphobia
is a fear of public places, it is now believed that Agoraphobia evolved from
the complications of panic attacks.
As a result, people with
agoraphobia restrict their movement to places that feel safe, like in the home.
However, there is evidence to suggest that a one-way causal relationship
between spontaneous panic attacks and Agoraphobia in DSM-IV may be
inappropriate.
