Activity Description

Agoraphobia is the anxiety that occurs when one is in a public or crowded place, from which a potential escape is difficult, or help may not be readily available. It is characterized by the fear that a panic attack or panic-like symptoms may occur in these situations. Individuals with agoraphobia, therefore, strive to avoid such situations or locations. This activity describes the diagnostic criteria and characteristics of agoraphobia and outlines the interprofessional team's role in its evaluation and management.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the etiology of agoraphobia.
  • Review the diagnostic criteria/common symptomatic presentations of agoraphobia.
  • Outline the options available for the management of agoraphobia.
  • Describe some interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication for the evaluation and management of agoraphobia.
