WHAT IS AGORAPHOBIA The term agoraphobia has been widely misunderstood. Its literal definition suggests a fear of "open spaces". However, this is an incomplete and misleading view. Agoraphobics are not necessarily afraid of open spaces. Rather, they are afraid of having panicky feelings, wherever. these fearful feelings may occur. For many, they happen at home, in houses of worship, or in crowded supermarkets, places that are certainly not "open". In fact, agoraphobia is a condition which develops when a person begins to avoid spaces or situations associated with anxiety. Typical "phobic situations" might include driving, shopping, crowded places, traveling, standing in line, being alone, meetings and social gatherings. Agoraphobia arises; from an internal anxiety condition that has become so intense that the suffering individual fears going anywhere or doing anything where these feelings of panic have repeatedly occurred before. Once the panic attacks have started, these episodes become the ongoing stress, even when other more obvious pressures have diminished. This sets up a "feedback condition" which generally leads to increased numbers of panic attacks and, for some people, an increase in the situations or events which can produce panicky feelings. Others experience fearful feelings continuously, more a feeling of overall. discomfort, rather than panic. A person may fear having anxiety attacks, "losing control", or embarrassing him/herself in such situations. Many people remain in a painful state of anxious anticipation because of these fears. Some become restricted or "housebound" while others function "normally" but with great difficulty, often attempting to hide their discomfort.

Agoraphobia is the fear of being in a situation where one might experience anxiety or panic and where escape from the situation might be difficult or embarrassing. People with agoraphobia may feel anxious about such things as loss of bladder or bowel control or choking on food in the presence of others. They also might feel anxious about being home alone, leaving home, or being in a crowded place, such as on public transportation or in an elevator, where it might be difficult or embarrassing to find a way out. To avoid the anxiety associated with these situations they refrain from putting themselves into such situations. The severity of agoraphobia is quite variable. Some people with agoraphobia live essentially normal lives as they avoid potentially anxiety-provoking situations. However, in severe cases of agoraphobia, people are homebound. These people work very hard to avoid any and all situations that might cause them to become anxious. What characteristics are associated with agoraphobia?

Agoraphobia European Description The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders World Health Organization, Geneva, 1992 F40.0 Agoraphobia Diagnostic Guidelines All the following criteria should be fulfilled for a definite diagnosis: (a) the psychological or autonomic symptoms must be primarily manifestations of anxiety and not secondary to other symptoms, such as delusions or obsessional thoughts; (b) the anxiety must be restricted to (or occur mainly in) at least two of the following situations: crowds, public places, travelling away from home, and travelling alone; and (c) avoidance of the phobic situation must be, or have been, a prominent feature. Differential Diagnosis It must be remembered that some agoraphobics experience little anxiety because they are consistently able to avoid their phobic situations. The presence of other symptoms such as depression, depersonalization, obsessional symptoms, and social phobias does not invalidate the diagnosis, provided that these symptoms do not dominate the clinical picture. However, if the patient was already significantly depressed when the phobic symptoms first appeared, depressive episode may be a more appropriate main diagnosis; this is more common in late-onset cases. The present or absence of panic disorder in the agoraphobic situation on a majority of occasions may be recorded by means of a fifth character to top Internet Mental Health www.mentalhealth.com

20. Freedom From Agoraphobia A practical, medicationindependent program on CD-ROM and book for the treatment of agoraphobia, anxiety disorder, and panic attacks. http://www.agoraphobia-treatment.com

Home About the Doctor Sample Chapter Table of Contents ... Contact the Doctor For those who suffer with Anxiety, Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder... A program that has been highly successful over decades for hundreds of people. "This book was written in response to the continued (and highly-gratifying) insistence by my anxiety disorder patients that I make this approach available for more people than just those who can see me in my office. The program is becoming increasingly unusual because it does not rely upon medications or even need them to work. (Although the types of medications and their uses are explained for those who want to know.) Instead, the program uses proven methods from three of the most researched non-medication therapies - Cognitive Therapy, Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy - as well as Meditation. It differs from other approaches in that it is based upon a particular understanding of Anxiety, Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder that was developed over many years and which people find really matches their experience. This understanding is freely offered to you in the sample chapter provided - "The Key To Agoraphobia." So you can see for yourself whether this book speaks to you. Written in everyday language for ease of understanding, the book takes you through the process of becoming free from Agoraphobia - through the frustration and successes, the tears and the joy. It comes with a CD entitled "Meditative Relaxation" which will help you leave anxiety behind as you take a complete and total rest from tension in both your mind and your body.
