Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by a fear of leaving safe or familiar places and situations. People with agoraphobia may avoid situations such as being in crowds, using public transportation, or being alone outside of the home or in open spaces. This fear can be so intense that it can interfere with their ability to carry out everyday activities. While negative evaluation and public humiliation can be associated with social anxiety disorder, closed spaces are more closely associated with claustrophobia.
