People who don't suffer from agoraphobia find it almost impossible to imagine what goes through the mind of somebody suffering from this illness. Each person's individual experience during an attack may differ, but generally speaking, an attack is very real and can be quite terrifying. I developed agoraphobia in mid 1996, after an incident changed my life completely. Before this incident, I was able to live my life to the fullest, with no restrictions. Here is my story. For the past 10 years, I have been a secretary, and have worked in many high rise buildings. Then one morning in January 1996, I was in an elevator inside my building which malfunctioned. At the time I was working on the 25th floor of my building, but this was to be a morning which would alter the rest of my life. I got into the elevator from the ground floor and pressed the button to take me to the 25th floor. Everything seemed quite normal, until the elevator continued past the 25th floor without stopping until it got to the top floor. When it reached the top, it halted and the doors remained shut. At this time, I wasn't panicked too much, and simply pressed the button for the 25th floor again and picked up the emergency telephone to report that I was stuck in the elevator.

Overcoming Agoraphobia retrains the brain to understand that these situations are actually safe, and that it does not need to generate anxiety responses. 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.

44. Panic Attacks And Agoraphobia - Psychological Self-Help TREATMENT OF SPECIFIC ANXIETYBASED PROBLEMS. Panic attacks and agoraphobia Abouthalf the time agoraphobia is preceded by a panic attack. http://mentalhelp.net/psyhelp/chap5/chap5s.htm

T REATMENT OF S PECIFIC A NXIETY- B ASED P ROBLEMS Panic attacks and agoraphobia But because of the seriousness of a panic disorder (not just one or two attacks) and the suicide risks (even higher than depression), it is crucial that competent professional treatment be sought immediately. Unfortunately, many professionals give ineffective drugs and don't use the best therapy methods. Panic attack victims are given 50% of all angiograms, which are unnecessary and quite expensive. So seek a panic disorder specialist , if possible, by calling your Mental Health Center or the Phobia Society of America. The therapist should insure that there is no physical problem, possibly prescribe anti-depressive drugs (not minor tranquilizers), and provide psychotherapy involving relaxation, exposure to the frightening situation, and cognitive restructuring. The causes of panic attacks are not known. Some psychiatrists think the body is simply malfunctioningsending a false message that it is suffocating (being unable to breathe is terrifying); thus, these theorists see it as purely a physical problem (actually, the onset of panic disorders are often associated with major stressful life events). Other theorists believe panic sufferers were born shy, nervous children with over-demanding, suffocating parents. Later, as over-dependent, eager-to-please but resentful-of-authority young people, they frequently have an intense confrontation with an authority. Their anger leads to the first panic attack, according to this theory. More recently, three major theories about panic have evolved:

VISIT: The Lifeline Anxiety Disorder Newsletter The Lifeline Message Board The Lifeline Blog SONGS OF MY SOUL Available as a book or eBook, SONGS OF MY SOUL is the poetry of a Canadian teenager, from Streetsville, Ontario who took her own life, in November 1991, after struggling with social phobia, panic disorder and agoraphobia for the previous ten years. While victims of anxiety disorders have found SONGS OF MY SOUL to be an excellent resource for communicating the impact of their own fear, anxiety and panic to family and friends, young people - with and without anxiety disorders - relate strongly to the book. The words come from the soul of an adolescent whose fear prevented her from communicating with her peers during her lifetime. Since the posthumous publication of her poetry, her work has touched the hearts and souls of young and old alike. SONGS OF MY SOUL If you have an anxiety disorder and cannot make your friends and family understand the problem, this book will tell them how you feel. If you are having problems trying to understand why someone you love avoids you, avoids other people, the shopping mall, restaurants, banks - maybe, even, leaving the house, this book will help you to understand.

Well, now that you have made your way to this Agoraphobia Web Page I suppose that you might like to know what that funny-sounding name means if you do not already know or if you are not a person who is living with the challenge of agoraphobia. There are many technical definitions with all kinds of slants .....for practical purposes I'll just give you a brief definition given me by a one-time counselor. Agoraphobia is, according to her, 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." You will not find this to be a terribly technical page, but rather a practical one...one which explains in everyday terms what it is to be phobic, written by a person who has been phobic to one degree or another since childhood. It does limit me, but certainly doesn't STOP me! To be sure, like most life situations, being phobic (shortened word for agoraphobic) has its up side(s) and its down side(s)..... I hope here to be able to give you a smattering of it all as told by those of us who know the challenge first-hand.

Yochai Benkler, Overcoming Agoraphobia: Building the Commons of the Digitally Networked Environment 287 (1998) [Abstrac t] In 1997, the FCC took the first step in this direction by issuing its U-NII Order. This order opens up the possibility of a spectrum commons, where equipment users multilaterally coordinate their communications using communications protocols embedded in end-user equipment, without anyone owning or licensing the spectrum they use. But the order also underscores the limitations that incumbent licensees and the prevailing conceptual attachment to outmoded patterns of thought about spectrum regulation impose on this third alternative. The paper concludes with proposals regarding the U-NII order in particular, and the auctioning process more generally, intended (a) to permit the development of an effective market in equipment that may rely on spectrum as a common resource, and (b) to reserve judgment about whether privatization or commons is the better approach, by constraining the current auctioning process to some degree.

Many people who suffer from panic attacks go on to develop agoraphobia, a severely handicapping disorder that often prevents its victims from leaving their homes unless accompanied by a friend or relativea "safe" person. The first panic attack may follow some stressful event, such as a serious illness or the death of a loved one. (The agoraphobic often doesn't make this connection, though.) Fearing more attacks, the person develops a more-or-less continual state of anxiety, anticipating the next attack, avoiding situations where he would be helpless if a panic attack occurred. It is this avoidance behavior that distinguishes agoraphobia from panic disorder. Two different types of anxiety appear to afflict the person with agoraphobiapanic and the "anticipatory anxiety" engendered by expectations of future panic attacks. If you have agoraphobia, chances are it developed something like this: One ordinary day, while tending to some chore, taking a walk, driving to workin other words, just going about your usual businessyou were suddenly struck by a wave of awful terror. Your heart started pounding, you trembled, you perspired profusely, and you had difficulty catching your breath. You became convinced that something terrible was happening to you, maybe you were going crazy, maybe you were having a heart attack, maybe you were about to die. You desperately sought safety, reassurance from your family, treatment at a clinic or emergency room. Your doctor could find nothing wrong with you, so you went about your business, until a panic attack struck again. As the attacks became more frequent, you spent more and more time thinking about them. You worried, watched for danger and waited with fear for the next one to hit.

A panic attack is a sudden rush of uncomfortable physical symptoms coupled with thoughts of impending doom (making a scene, heart attack, not being able to breathe). Although the first panic attack may take place in a distinct situation, further episodes are unpredictable as to time or place. One or more uncomfortable physical symptoms will be present in a severe form during an actual panic attack, such as increased heart rate, dizziness or lightheadedness, shortness of breath, inability to concentrate, and confusion. After a number of panic episodes, the individual can become afraid of being a helpless victim of panic. He or she may hesitate to be alone, to venture far from home, or to be in public places. Even when not experiencing an anxiety attack, the person with panic attacks often becomes increasingly nervous and apprehensive. He or she attempts to remain physically and psychologically tense in preparation for the next attack.

59. Agoraphobia - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia agoraphobia. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. agoraphobia isa form of anxiety disorder. The name is literally translated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Agoraphobia is a form of anxiety disorder . The name is literally translated as "a fear of the marketplace", from the Greek agora , and thus of open or public spaces . Many people suffering from agoraphobia, however, are not afraid of the open spaces themselves, but of situations often associated with these spaces, such as social gatherings. Others are comfortable seeing visitors, but only in a defined space they feel in control ofsuch a person may live for years without leaving his home, while happily seeing visitors and working, as long as they can stay within their safety zone. An agoraphobic experiences severe panic attacks during situations where they feel trapped, insecure, out of control, or too far from their personal comfort zone. During severe bouts of anxiety, the agoraphobic is confined not only to their home, but to one or two rooms and they may even become bedbound until their over-stimulated nervous system can quieten down, and their adrenaline levels return to a more normal level.
