Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Support Group
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."
i hardly ever post here, but i am very qualified to be a member.
have suffered from extreme anxiety and agoraphobia.
i am now on Buspar, it's been about 2 weeks.
i think it is helping.
i am super curious as to why there is no list of treatments on this page of DS. anxiety is one of the most crippling things i have experienced, and i am wondering about this very much...
why not? there are medications, therapy techniques, am i missing something? why no " Treatments " section here ?
thank you.

from own experience no medication helps or helped me for agoraphobia, i am currently doing exposure on my own to reduce the level of agoraphobia, to improve and get better
for treatments other than medication can be used, cbt, mmdr, hypnosis, imagery, guided meditations, music, reading, exercize, thai chi, yoga, drawing, autosugestion or autogenic training anything for distraction, mindfulnes anything that can relax and reduce anxiety symptoms, depends from person to person, and there can happen setbacks too
it can get better, there is hope and it is not easy at all
