    Extractions: Systematic Desensitization ... send this page to a friend advertisement ...and other anxiety related challenges Well, now that you've made your way to the Agoraphobia Web Page, I suppose you just might like to know what that funny-sounding name means. There are many technical definitions with all kinds of slants. For practical purposes, I'll just give you a brief definition given to me by a counselor I once worked with. According to her, agoraphobia is an anxiety condition wherein the one challenged with it suffers extreme anxiety, or even terror , when subjected to any situation which is outside of his or her "safety zone." The focus of this site is a practical one, one which explains in everyday terms what it's like to be phobic (shortened word for agoraphobic), written by a person who's been phobic for about 37 years now. advertisement To be sure, like most life situations, being phobic has its upsides and its downsides. I hope to give you a smattering of it all, as told by those of us who know the challenge first-hand. Luci, a good friend of mine and sister phobic, will also be contributing her input throughout this site. I hope you find it interesting, as well as informative.

    Extractions: A panic attack is a sudden rush of uncomfortable physical symptoms coupled with thoughts of impending doom (making a scene, heart attack, not being able to breathe). Although the first panic attack may take place in a distinct situation, further episodes are unpredictable as to time or place. One or more uncomfortable physical symptoms will be present in a severe form during an actual panic attack, such as increased heart rate, dizziness or lightheadedness, shortness of breath, inability to concentrate, and confusion. After a number of panic episodes, the individual can become afraid of being a helpless victim of panic. He or she may hesitate to be alone, to venture far from home, or to be in public places. Even when not experiencing an anxiety attack, the person with panic attacks often becomes increasingly nervous and apprehensive. He or she attempts to remain physically and psychologically tense in preparation for the next attack.

49. Agoraphobia - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
    Literally translated as a fear of the marketplace , agoraphobia is a fear Many people suffering from agoraphobia, however, are not afraid of the open

    Extractions: Over US$225,000 has been donated since the drive began on 19 August. Thank you for your generosity! Agoraphobia F40.00 Without panic disorder, F40.01 With panic disorder 300.22 Without panic disorder, 300.21 With panic disorder Agoraphobia is a form of anxiety disorder . The word is an English adoption of the Greek words agora (αγορά) and phobia (φόβος). Literally translated in modern Greek as "a fear of the marketplace". A common misconception is that agoraphobia is a fear of open spaces. This is most often not the case since people suffering from agoraphobia usually are not afraid of the open spaces themselves, but of public spaces or of situations often associated with these spaces. The Greek word agora should be interpreted rather using the Ancient Greek meaning of the word agora (αγορά) which translates as "where the people gather" (later "forum" in Latin ) which gives the idea of a crowded marketplace than just an open space this makes the common combination of agoraphobia and claustrophobia less conflicting. Some people who suffer from agoraphobia fear social gatherings where help in an emergency might not be readily available. Others are comfortable seeing visitors, but only in a defined space they feel in control of. Such a person may live for years without leaving his or her home, while happily seeing visitors and working, as long as they can stay within their safety zone.

51. SONGS OF MY SOUL - The Way Life Is For Children And Adolescents With Anxiety Dis
    Information on a posthumously published book of poetry written by a Canadian teenager who suffered from agoraphobia.  
    http://www.designandcopy.ca/songs
    
    Extractions: Social phobia: what it is and what it is not. Available as a book or eBook, SONGS OF MY SOUL is the poetry of a Canadian teenager, from Streetsville, Ontario who took her own life, in November 1991, after struggling with social phobia, panic disorder and agoraphobia for the previous ten years. While victims of anxiety disorders have found SONGS OF MY SOUL to be an excellent resource for communicating the impact of their own fear, anxiety and panic to family and friends, young people - with and without anxiety disorders - relate strongly to the book. The words come from the soul of an adolescent whose social anxiety prevented her from communicating with her peers during her lifetime. Since the posthumous publication of her poetry, her work has touched the hearts and souls of young and old alike. KIRSTIN'S STORY: no place to stand began as a therapeutic exercise for Kirstin's mother after her death. She wrote the earlier chapters then, but put it away for several years because the later ones were too hard to write. Eventually, finding that parents of children with anxiety disorders were still having difficulty in getting school personnel to understand the problem, she finished writing the book, hoping that people with responsibility in the welfare of children – whether as parent, teacher, doctor, nurse, social worker – would read it… at least once.

Defined as "open spaces, leaving a safe place, or crowded public places", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress. To add insult to an already distressing condition, most agoraphobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as agoraphobia can be eliminated with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment by the phobic individual. Known by a number of names - Agorophobia, Fear of Open Spaces, Fear of Leaving A Safe Place, and Fear of Crowded Public Places
