“The experience of agoraphobia can range from mild to severe restriction in lifestyle, and a severe case may result in the individual’s being completely housebound or unable to leave home unaccompanied. Avoided activities may include driving (locally or long distance); traveling over bridges; going to grocery stores, malls, theaters, churches, or temples; being in crowds; going to restaurants; using public transportation; going to the barber or hairdresser; or being in enclosed or being in wide-open spaces. It is not uncommon for patients with agoraphobia to define a ’safe zone’ around their homes, and to be unable to venture outside this radius.”
