3. AGORAPHOBIA A short description of agoraphobia. http://pages.infinit.net/drnayman/agorapho.htm

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.

In some ways it is as though some fairy tale witch has cast a mysterious spell which locks us into our homes and makes every venture "out into the world" into a terrifying and herculean task. It is frustrating and confusing for us and for those who know and love us. And it's virtually impossible for us to explain our feelings, our terror, because we ourselves don't understand.

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
