EmailAgoraphobia
The main feature of Agoraphobia is anxiety about being in places or situations from which escape might be difficult (or embarrassing) or in which help may not be available if the anxiety becomes overwhelming.
The anxiety typically leads to an avoidance of a variety of situations that may include being alone outside the home or being home alone; being in a crowd of people; traveling in a car, bus or airplane; or being on a bridge or in an elevator.
