Question

What is the relationship between panic disorder and agoraphobia?

Answer 1

Agoraphobia can develop as panic disorder progresses. Agoraphobia is the fear of places or situations where escape or help may be difficult if you have a panic attack there. So agoraphobia can occur as a result of panic disorder worsening and progressing (Carandang, 2014).
