Living with Agoraphobia About Us Agoraphobia Info Coping Tips Systematic Desensitization ... send this page to a friend advertisement ...and other anxiety related challenges Well, now that you've made your way to the Agoraphobia Web Page, I suppose you just might like to know what that funny-sounding name means. There are many technical definitions with all kinds of slants. For practical purposes, I'll just give you a brief definition given to me by a counselor I once worked with. According to her, agoraphobia is an anxiety condition wherein the one challenged with it suffers extreme anxiety, or even terror , when subjected to any situation which is outside of his or her "safety zone." The focus of this site is a practical one, one which explains in everyday terms what it's like to be phobic (shortened word for agoraphobic), written by a person who's been phobic for about 37 years now. advertisement To be sure, like most life situations, being phobic has its upsides and its downsides. I hope to give you a smattering of it all, as told by those of us who know the challenge first-hand. Luci, a good friend of mine and sister phobic, will also be contributing her input throughout this site. I hope you find it interesting, as well as informative.

City or Zip Code: Definition Symptoms Causes Treatment ... Go to Condition Center for more terms Definition The term agoraphobia is translated from Greek as "fear of the marketplace." Agoraphobia involves intense fear and anxiety of any place or situation where escape might be difficult, leading to avoidance of situations such as being alone outside of the home; traveling in a car, bus, or airplane; being in a crowded area; or being on a bridge or in an elevator. Endurance of such situations can put a person with agoraphobia under great stress, and a panic attack may result. Such high discomfort and stress may require another person's company in such situations. Agoraphobia often accompanies another anxiety disorder, such as panic disorder or a specific phobia. If agoraphobia occurs with panic disorder, the onset is usually during the 20s; women are affected more often than men. Approximately 1.8 million American adults age 18 and over (about 0.8 percent of people in this age group in a given year) have agoraphobia without a history of panic disorder. Agoraphobia affects about a third of all people with panic disorder. Typically, people with agoraphobia restrict themselves to a "zone of safety" that may include only the home or the immediate neighborhood. Any movement beyond the edges of this zone creates mounting anxiety. Even when they restrict themselves to "safe" situations, most people with agoraphobia continue to have panic attacks at least a few times a month.

Overcoming Agoraphobia The true meaning of agoraphobia is fear of crowds, but for many people it is much more than that. Effective agoraphobia treatment Overcoming Agoraphobia retrains the brain to understand that these situations are actually safe, and that it does not need to generate anxiety responses. Although medication is often prescribed as agoraphobia treatment, detraumatisation and relaxation is what is required. Hypnosis is so effective for doing this because it keeps the mind calm and relaxed while reviewing the difficult situations or experiences, so teaching the mind to respond differently. As this happens, you will begin to feel differently about the prospect of situations that used to be frightening, until actually going back into them is a realistic prospect.

Dear Reader, Agoraphobia is a disorder characterized by intense anxiety about having a panic episode in places or situations from which escape could be challenging or uncomfortable. Some people experience agoraphobia as a fear that stems from not being able to receive assistance during an anxiety attack. For instance, many people with agoraphobia fear leaving their homes alone, being in a large gathering of people, being on a bridge, or riding in various vehicles. Agoraphobia frequently goes with other anxiety disorders, including panic disorder and specific phobias. Panic attacks are intense feelings of fear and often doom, which usually build and peak within about ten minutes of onset. Some of the most typical symptoms of a panic attack include: chest pain and/or heart palpitations trembling feeling faint or dizzy shortness of breath or difficulty catching your breath fear of dying fear of losing control sweating feeling nauseated strange sensations: numbness, tingling, pricking, or burning

Who suffers from specific phobias "I'm scared to death of flying, and I never do it anymore. I used to start dreading a plane trip a month before I was due to leave. It was an awful feeling when that airplane door closed and I felt trapped. My heart would pound and I would sweat bullets. When the airplane would start to ascend, it just reinforced the feeling that I couldn't get out. When I think about flying, I picture myself losing control, freaking out, climbing the walls, but of course I never did that. I'm not afraid of crashing or hitting turbulence. It's just that feeling of being trapped. Whenever I've thought about changing jobs, I've had to think, 'Would I be under pressure to fly?' These days I only go places where I can drive or take a train. My friends always point out that I couldn't get off a train travelling at high speeds either, so why don't trains bother me? I just tell them it isn't a rational fear." What are specific phobias?
