Agoraphobia Dr Trisha Macnair Although agoraphobia is thought of as a fear of open spaces, the real underlying fear is more complex, encompassing several aspects of daily life. In this article What are the symptoms? Who's affected? What's the treatment? What are the symptoms? The person feels especially vulnerable and exposed The phobias or fears in agoraphobia involve activities such as leaving home, entering public places or travelling alone. In these situations the person feels especially vulnerable and exposed, with nowhere to escape to or hide if things go wrong. An unusual but not uncommon feature of agoraphobia is a fear of crossing bridges (known as gephyrophobia). This has nothing to do with huge drops from the side of a bridge, but is related to a feeling that, once on the bridge, there is no immediately available exit. The degree of fear and avoidance behaviour varies. Although many sufferers do manage to get out to work, some become completely housebound.

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Constructing Panic The Discourse of Agoraphobia Lisa Capps Elinor Ochs Foreword by Jerome Bruner Meg Logan has not been farther than two miles from home in six years. She has agoraphobia, a debilitating anxiety disorder that entraps its sufferers in the fear of leaving safe havens such as home. Paradoxically, while at this safe haven, agoraphobics spend much of their time ruminating over past panic experiences and imagining similar hypothetical situations. In doing so, they create a narrative that both describes their experience and locks them into it. Constructing Panic offers an unprecedented analysis of one patient's experience of agoraphobia. In this novel interdisciplinary collaboration between a clinical psychologist and a linguist, the authors probe Meg's stories for constructions of emotions, actions, and events. They illustrate how Meg uses grammar and narrative structure to create and recreate emotional experiences that maintain her agoraphobic identity. In this work Capps and Ochs propose a startling new view of agoraphobia as a communicative disorder.

// nothing @import "../css/default3.css"; Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders A-Br Agoraphobia Definition Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear related to being in situations from which escape might be difficult or embarrassing (i.e., being on a bus or train), or in which help might not be available in the event of a panic attack or panic symptoms. Panic is defined as extreme and unreasonable fear and anxiety. According to the handbook used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , fourth edition, text revision, also known as the DSM-IV-TR , patients with agoraphobia are typically afraid of such symptoms as feeling dizzy, having an attack of diarrhea, fainting, or "going crazy." The word "agoraphobia" comes from two Greek words that mean "fear" and "marketplace." The anxiety associated with agoraphobia leads to avoidance of situations that involve being outside one's home alone, being in crowds, being on a bridge, or traveling by car or public transportation. Agoraphobia may intensify to the point that it interferes with a person's ability to take a job outside the home or to carry out such ordinary errands and activities as picking up groceries or going out to a movie. Description The close association in agoraphobia between fear of being outside one's home and fear of having panic symptoms is reflected in DSM-IV-TR classification of two separate disorders: panic disorder (PD) with agoraphobia, and agoraphobia without PD. PD is essentially characterized by sudden attacks of fear and panic. There may be no known reason for the occurrence of panic attacks; they are frequently triggered by fear-producing events or thoughts, such as driving, or being in an elevator. PD is believed due to an abnormal activation of the body's hormonal system, causing a sudden "fight-or-flight" response.

59. What Is Agoraphobia? Brief and Straightforward Guide What is agoraphobia? http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-agoraphobia.htm

What is Agoraphobia? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window If you break down the word agoraphobia , you can quickly see what it means. A phobia is a fear of something. Agora comes from the Greek language, and refers to a place where people meet, or more specifically a marketplace. So agoraphobia is the fear of being in crowded or open spaces. Sometimes agoraphobia is thought of as the fear of being out in the open, but that isn't strictly correct. People suffering from agoraphobia are more often fearful of places where they are crowded in, where getting away would be difficult. A person with agoraphobia may be reluctant to leave their house, but it is usually not simply being outdoors that frightens them. Situations such as being in a crowded building, a long hallway, a large, exposed place, or any unfamiliar territory can be intensely disturbing to someone with agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is most associated with being unable to get to a safe location, or the feeling of being exposed and unprotected. A return to familiar territory may relieve the symptoms of an agoraphobia related panic attack. Symptoms of agoraphobia can range from mild feelings of discomfort or anxiety in large, crowded spaces, to intense fear and panic attacks. Agoraphobia is actually diagnosed differently according to whether the patient experiences panic disorders or not. In fact, many different psychological disorders can share symptoms with agoraphobia, such as social phobia
