Agoraphobia
Some people develop agoraphobia. They fear being alone or in public places from where escape might be difficult or help might not be available in case of sudden incapacitation. They become extremely anxious and experience overwhelming fear in different everyday settings, like if they were to shop in a crowded shopping plaza, move in a bus or train, cross a bridge or travel through a tunnel. The fear is so acute that they become housebound and reclusive. Some 95 per cent of the victims also suffer panic attacks
