Agoraphobia is a very debilatating condition that has a huge impact on the quality of life of those people who suffer with it. The intention of this blog is to bring together sources of information, case studies and peoples actual experience of the condition.
I am not in any way a medical expert and can not give any medical or clinical advice. I have however experienced Agrophibia first hand, at differing levels and intensities, in friends and family members. I have also to a lesser degree, suffered with the illness myself.
I feel that there are many so called experts who offer the miracle cure, or who profess to have the answer to all your problems but who actually take a very simplistic attitude to the subject. They simply mix it in the pot along with fear of spiders and addiction to smoking - claiming that such things can easily be overcome by therapy and of course by emptying you wallet.
My aim with this blog is to build a resource that will be useful to long time sufferers, people who find themselves developing the condition and also for those who find themselves indirectly involved. Over time we can put together a collection of articles from many sources, views of experts in the field and stories of real people with real experiences to share.
