Agoraphobia occurs when you fear having a panic attack in a particular place and help is not available or you can’t get away easily.
It is not the fear of open spaces as is commonly believed.
Most commonly, agoraphobia involves a fear of going into places where it might be difficult or embarrassing to escape quickly if you have a panic attack and need to get away. It may include the fear of going to places where there would be no quick access to medical help.
