AGORAPHOBIA

This is a fear of leaving a comfortable place. This could include your car, houses you deem safe or in the worse case scenario, only your house. When this disorder is left untreated, the individual could become housebound or limited to only staying inside of their house or not beyond their own mailbox. For people who are housebound we do offer appointments where we will go to the individual's house to engage in treatment. HOME BASED THERAPY. This disorder is very treatable and there is often a high success rate when the person seeks treatment. For some people, they have this disorder, but are able to function but will have to white knuckle it, or go about their lives with an uncomfortable level of anxiety. We also would recommend Dr. Katkin's book on anxiety, The Anxiety Trap which has been immensely helpful in leading people to their own recovery and/or complimenting their current therapy.
