Agoraphobia
and Panic Attacks
One
is afraid of having a panic attack or symptom attack.
Places, situation, things are avoided that would bring
on an attack.
A
panic attack is a sudden rush of fear. Rapid heartbeat,
dizziness, difficulty breathing, sweating, and other
symptoms accompany a fearful feeling that something
terrible (like losing control) is about to happen. People
who experience recurring attacks or who are distressed
by the attacks may be suffering from a panic disorder.
A
person’s fear of these attacks can lead him or
her to avoid any situation that might trigger one. For
example, the person may avoid driving, crowds, being
alone, or leaving the house. When panic attacks lead
to this sort of persistent avoidance, the condition
is known as agoraphobia.
