Agoraphobia

=toc= = Definition: = An intense fear of being in a situation from which escape is not possible or in which help would not be available if one experienced overwhelming anxiety or a panic attack. Gen Psych, Chapter 12, Pg. 385

= Examples: = Although agoraphobia can occur without panic attacks, it often begins during early adult years with repeated panic attacks. The intense fear of having another attack causes the person to avoid any place or situation where previous attacks have occurred. media type="youtube" key="eCdd2ZAaXUs" height="315" width="420"media type="youtube" key="a4mBFfMCDl8" height="315" width="560"
