Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and often avoid places or situations that can cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless, and confused.
With agoraphobia, you are afraid of the actual or perceived situation, such as using public transportation, being in open or closed spaces, standing in line, or being in the crowd. Anxiety is caused by the fear that there is no easy way to escape or seek help if intense anxiety develops. Most people with agoraphobia develop it after one or more panic attacks, causing them to be afraid of another attack and to avoid the place where it occurred.
