What is the impact agoraphobia has on society?
May 21st, 2010 by admin
agoraphobia: the fear of an embarrassing or difficult situation where one cannot escape.
I have social phobia. When it was bad I couldn’t leave the house for fear of embarrassment or a difficult situation where I couldn’t escape, causing me to have a panic attack.
Agoraphobics will not leave the house for general fear of a panic attack in public.
Translated from Greek, it means "fear of the marketplace".
As for society, I have very little impact – only welfare until I can return to work. My doctor has ordered me to choose work carefully or I could end up in hospital.
I know it doesn’t help much, but I wanted to clear things up a bit

Not sure but my bf & I both have that. He’s been diagnosed but not me. But I’m sure I have it. Feel free to message with any questions.
