Agoraphobia is not a psychological disorder. Agoraphobia is a genetic disorder. A person with agoraphobia is born with it. Many psychological anxiety symptoms are similar to agoraphobia, but they are not agoraphobia. An agoraphobic attack comes on like a seizure. The sufferer looks for escape. This “escape “ can be most serious. Only the Claire weekes method works for agoraphobia
