Greetings appreciated community, Health for all. Welcome to my blog.

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder that consists of the fear of situations whose avoidance is difficult or embarrassing, or where you can not receive help in case of suffering a panic attack.

Many people today are subjected to certain and certain sensation of nerves, agitation or tension that we have before the current circumstances that we live. If these are given in a moderate way can be considered completely normal, even psychologists think that these situations are positive, since it stimulates us for action.

The problem appears when that anxiety is excessive, when instead of helping us to overcome certain situations, it blocks us and we are not able to speak or do it clumsily.

For example, an exam arrives and we do not remember anything, that important meeting arrives and we do nothing but tremble and throw down everything we touch or when we have to go to the doctor for some symptom that affects us and we begin to imagine all the negative and nerves betray us, causing an impression not very good.
