What is Agoraphobia?
Correct Answer: Fear of open spaces
Description: Agoraphobia is characterised by an irrational fear of being in places away from the familiar setting of the home. Although it was earlier thought to be a fear of open spaces only, now it includes fear of open spaces, public places, crowded places and any other place from where there is no easy escape to a safe place. (Ref: A sho textbook of psychiatry, Niraj Ahuja,7th edition, pg no 92)
