Agoraphobia
If you asked most people what agoraphobia is, they’d probably say it was a fear of going outside. In reality, it’s much more complex than that.

What people with agoraphobia actually fear is any situation where it’d be difficult to escape, or where help wouldn’t be readily available.
This includes crowded places, such as public transport, shops or music concerts. They might worry about having a panic attack in public that would cause people to stare or laugh at them.
This means that it can be difficult to get medical help for agoraphobia, as many patients are uncomfortable with the idea of visiting a surgery.
