Let's get it out of the way right now...
The Agoraphobia Definition is from Greek words that literally means, "fear of the marketplace.
" And it means what it means...
to describe an irrational and often disabling fear of being out in public...
But I don't like the "irrational" part of the definition...
Agoraphobia suffers are experiencing something real...
and frightening.
Here are the real statistics...
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)...
roughly about 3.
2 million Americans from the ages of 18 to 54 have Agoraphobia.
And about 1/3 of the folks who have panic disorder...
progress to develop Agoraphobia.
As you can see...
Agoraphobia is an diagnosed disorder...
and there are lots of suffers...
but I truly believe that most if not all these folks are suffering from anxiety attacks, panic attacks and Agoraphobia needlessly...
Let me explain...
You see...
there IS a way to end all the sufferings from this disorder...
a simple and extremely effective way which is beyond the scope of this article.
But you can find out more about it at the bottom of this article.
However, the first thing you should do if you think may be suffering form Agoraphobia is to seek the opinion of medical help.
Once you are sure about the diagnosis...
you can now seek a solution to cure this affliction...
Now, not only is Agoraphobia the fear of being out in public...
it can also be the fear of crowds, wide open spaces or traveling.
But it is really the anxiety and fear of experiencing a difficult and embarrassing situation in public.
And that fear can be so crippling that you never want to go outside of your home.
And I said before...
if  you suspect that you are suffering from Agoraphobia...
you should seek medical help so that you can get the freedom of your normal life back.
In short, Agoraphobia is the fear of being out in public and losing control.
It is real to me and to you.
First seek medical diagnosis and then seek the permanent cure.
