http://www.ncpamd.com/agoraphobia.htm

Extractions: Carol E. Watkins, M.D. Agoraphobia is the fear of going out into public places. It can occur with or without panic attacks. In milder forms, agoraphobia may cause an individual to avoid certain situations and jobs. However, in some cases, the fear increases until the individual becomes depressed and housebound. Occasionally one may be too fearful to come in for treatment. This may be a reason for resurrecting the old concept of the physicians house call. Individuals with severe agoraphobia should usually start both medication and therapy as soon as possible. Without the medication, such an individual might not be able to make full use of the therapeutic process. People with mild to moderate symptoms might chose a combination approach or therapy alone. Homework between situations, and coaching from family members or therapists help one gradually face the feared situations.

For example, you might have intense fear of driving, crossing bridges, or being in shopping malls. You fear the reactions you will have in these situations. The fears can disable you. At their most extreme, they can prevent you from ever leaving your home. A person who has agoraphobia may also have panic disorder. People who have panic disorder have a number of severe panic attacks marked by a sense of impending doom. They may become agoraphobic because they want to avoid situations or places that might trigger a panic attack. How does it occur?

http://papa.essortment.com/informationona_rlnb.htm

Extractions: Information on agoraphobia Information on agoraphobia and suggestions are given for how to find a therapist. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV (DSM-IV), agoraphobia is the fear of being in places or situations from which escape might be difficult (or embarrassing). In some cases, the person may believe that help might not be avaiable in the event of suddenly developing symptoms that could be incapacitating or extremely embarrassing. To further illustrate, the person may fear having symptoms of dizziness or falling, depersonalization or derealization, loss of bladder or bowel control, vomiting or even cardiac distress. As a result of this fear, the person either restricts travel or needs a companion when away from home, or else endures agoraphobic situations despite intense anxiety. bodyOffer(32381) This ability to sometimes endure intense and uncomfortable situations baffles loved ones who may not understand why the agoraphobic does not consistently react in the same way each and every time. The purpose of this article is to explain further the dynamics of agoraphobia and how to access further help if there is a suspicion that someone you know may have the disorder. Specifically, the DSM-IV asserts that common agoraphobic situations include being outside the home alone, being in a crowd or standing in a line, being on a bridge, and traveling in a bus, train or car. Sometimes, the person will have panic attacks when in these situations which then means that the diagnosis would be labeled as, 'Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia.' However, it is not necessary to have panic attack symptoms to be diagnosed as having 'Agoraphobia.'

http://www.equator.ac.uk/Projects/Digitalcare/agoraphobia.htm

Extractions: Could sufferers of agoraphobia learn how to cope with their anxieties using the latest technology in the area of Virtual Reality (VR)? Computer graphic experts are currently able to create believable artificial environments in which people can learn how to overcome their fears, and acquire stable strategies of situational behaviour that would help them to deal with the world of others, in a public space. The idea is to recreate a believable artificial environment that stimulates physical responses as a real one, but that can be individually controlled by the suffer to experience only the features that can be handled by the patient. As the techniques to cope with the anxiety are learned trough a number of virtual sessions, the richness of the environment is increased to transform the virtual into a real world bringing the patient to be able to cope with the anxieties in the everyday experience. Featured Devices Phobia treatment via virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is one of the emerging and most effective applications of virtual environments. Patients are exposed to anxiety causing stimuli in a fully controllable environment. Furthermore using the responses of people suffering of a conditions such as phobia, who demonstrate clear and measurable behavioural alterations, allows to investigate the effectiveness of virtual environments in triggering the sense of presence, the feeling that one might be actually experiencing a real place rather than a synthetic representation.

http://jaxmed.com/articles/mental-fitness/panic.htm

Extractions: All humans have a built-in "alarm system" that goes off when they feel threatened. This alarm starts chemical, physical and emotional changes that prepare us to either flee or fight the danger that triggered the alarm ("Flight or Fight Response). In some people, this alarm may go off unexpectedly, creating a very strong sense of threat when no danger is present. This "false alarm" is called a panic attack. It occurs in a condition known as panic disorder. What is a panic attack? A panic attack is a terrifying experience. Several physical and emotional signs occur during a panic attack. The most common signs are a racing heart, shortness of breath, faintness, hot or cold flushes, trembling, tingling, weakness and nausea, or feeling as though one's self or the external world has changed somehow. In addition, people with panic attack may fear that they are dying, or going crazy or are about to lose control. Some panic attacks come on very quickly and involve many intense feelings. Other attacks may be less intense and involve fewer feelings. The signs of panic attacks can change or stay the same from one attack to another. A panic attack sounds like a heart attack. Is it?
