Which type of phobia can be diagnosed alongside panic disorder?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agoraphobia is commonly diagnosed alongside panic disorder as it involves a fear of being in situations or places where escape may be difficult or help may not be available in the event of a panic attack. This fear can lead to avoidance behavior, which can further exacerbate symptoms of panic disorder. Arachnophobia (fear of spiders), nyctophobia (fear of darkness), and social phobia (fear of social situations) are not necessarily commonly diagnosed alongside panic disorder.
