How can I cure my Agoraphobia?
March 12, 2011 by author · Leave a Comment
Medical science knows agoraphobia as a form of anxiety disorder characterized by the fear of traveling to another place or locale. Actually it isn’t the fear of going to another place, rather in being there – and outside of or away from you comfort zone. That is why agoraphobia is often confused with fear of flying or car travel.
In reality these two disorders are quite different. Fear of flying is typically linked to other anxieties that are based in the fear of dying in a crash or other trauma. The agoraphobia sufferer dreads being gone from outside their physical/geographical comfort zone – not the act of travel.
An Agoraphobia Panic Attack is not unlike other types of anxiety attack in that it is characterized by similar physical symptoms of rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, headache, muscle aches, chest pains, cold-sweats, etc. – along with the psychological symptoms of extreme fear and panic coupled with the desire to flee the environment and return to their safe zone.
The most prevalent problem issue with the treatment of agoraphobia is that patients avoid treatment by prevent symptomatic return – they avoid travelling outside their comfort zone. This is not unlike the sufferer of Social Anxiety Disorder who rarely leaves home. Both of these sufferers are difficult to treat because they simply live with the disorder by preventing its occurrence. In neither case is treatment possible because the patient has precluded access to their condition. Many people with agoraphobia live their entire lives within just a few miles – or blocks – from their home comfort zone. This is quite a shame, since treatments for agoraphobia do work.
The basic approach to treating agoraphobia is to introduce a planned regimen of limit-stretching of their boundaries while treating the physical symptoms with tranquilizers and antidepressant. This may seem odd – that the cure is doses of the panic source itself – but in reality what is happening is that the increased limit-stretching is forcing the subconscious and conscious minds to accept that indeed there is nothing to fear in either travel or geographical relocation. Many acclaimed travelers began their world travels after conquering agoraphobia.
As indicated you will probably need to consult both your primary care physician and a therapist or psychiatrist to obtain or develop the actual battle plan for this behavior modification. Your doctors will also prescribe prescription drugs for your symptoms. You should expect to begin seeing demonstrable improvements in about six months, along with the disappearance anxiety attacks.

Anxiety disorders are very common around the world, and in the U.S. alone almost 20% of the adult population is affected by a form of this mental illness. There are different types of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety and specific phobias. In general, women are affected by anxiety disorders more
often than men.
Anxiety can develop from a chemical or hormonal imbalance in the brain, genetics and environmental factors, such as built-up stress, a learned pattern of behaviors and unresolved issues. Physical symptoms and manifestations of anxiety include rapid heartbeat, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, insomnia, tension and irritation. The good news is that while anxiety is widespread, sometimes
very serious and can impact the quality of one’s life, it is treatable.
There are also many treatment options for people who are affected by anxiety. Medication is often used, including antidepressants and anti-anxiety medicines, which can be used in short-term as well as long-term cases and can also be used in conjunction with other treatments.
Therapies, done with a therapist or counselor, include behavior therapy, which involves controlling undesired behavior; cognitive therapy, which involves changing negative thought patterns; cognitive-behavior therapy; and relaxation and calming techniques, such as breathing, massage and aromatherapy.
There are also natural remedies for treating anxiety disorders and anxiety symptoms. Natural remedies include eating right to maintainblood sugar levels and exercising, as well as taking dietary supplements, such as a vitamin B complex. Anxiety disorders can betreated—or at the very least, its symptoms managed—so that you can exert control over the anxiety instead of anxiety having control over you.
