Key Takeaways

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by a fear of public places. People with agoraphobia often avoid leaving their homes or traveling alone and may feel panicked when confronted with unfamiliar environments. Agoraphobia can be caused by several factors, including previous traumatic experiences, genetic predisposition, and serotonin imbalance.
