Research into agoraphobia

Research into agoraphobia

I knew agoraphobia is the fear of the outside, but apart from that I didn’t know much about the phobia. Before writing the scrip I did some reach looking at what can cause agoraphobia and how people react when they art having a panic attack.

What is Agoraphobia?

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, where people who suffer from it feel unsafe in public areas. Some people may have it so severely that the only place they feel really safe in is their home, and rarely ever go outside.

Symptoms?

Accelerated heart beat
Rapid breathing
Feeling hot
Sweating
Trembling
Ringing in ears

Psychological symptoms?
Depression
Loss of control
Low self a stream

Anxiety

I felt it was important to look at some of the key symptoms of agoraphobia before i started writing the scrip.
