{{Main|Agoraphobia}}
Agoraphobia is a specific anxiety disorder wherein an individual is afraid of being in a place or situation where escape is difficult or embarrassing or where help may be unavailable.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.1016/B978-0-08-044032-3.X5000-X |title=Origins of Phobias and Anxiety Disorders |year=2003 |isbn=978-0-08-044032-3 | vauthors = Craske MG }}{{page needed|date=July 2023}}</ref> Agoraphobia is strongly linked with [[panic disorder]] and is often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack. A common manifestation involves needing to be in constant view of a door or other escape route. In addition to the fears themselves, the term [[agoraphobia]] is often used to refer to avoidance behaviors that individuals often develop.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Hazlett-Stevens H | chapter = Agoraphobia | pages = 24–34 | veditors = Fisher JE, O'Donohue WT |title= Practitioner's Guide to Evidence-Based Psychotherapy |year=2006 | location = Boston, MA | publisher = Springer |doi=10.1007/978-0-387-28370-8_2  |isbn=978-0-387-28369-2 }}</ref> For example, following a panic attack while driving, someone with agoraphobia may develop anxiety over driving and will therefore avoid driving. These avoidance behaviors can have serious consequences and often reinforce the fear they are caused by. In a severe case of agoraphobia, the person may never leave their home.
