Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agoraphobia is a common complication of panic disorder, as people may begin to avoid situations or places where panic attacks have occurred or where they fear they will have a panic attack. This avoidance behavior can lead to agoraphobia, a fear of being in places or situations where escape may be difficult or help may not be available in case of a panic attack. Social phobia, hypochondriasis, and eating disorders can also co-occur with panic disorder, but they are not as common as agoraphobia.
