What Is Complex Phobia?

Complex phobias can be again separated into two types, agoraphobia and social phobia. Agoraphobia is the phobia that causes anxiety disorder when a person is in a open space. The questions that we use very commonly now days to diagnosis this kind of phobia are “if the person avoids certain situations because they fear a panic attack.”, and if a panic attack have happened in situations such as, “going away or out of their homes”, “standing in long queues”, “being in a tunnel or underground space”, “home alone being in wide open spaces such as a field”, “being in crowded places”. If the patient admits that they try to avoid these situations in their life, then the patient may have agoraphobia. There are questions in social phobia diagnosis that
help people identify their fear. For example some people fear of embarrassing themselves and so they worry about what other people will think of them. The patient will also be asked if he / she is afraid of parties, social gatherings, public speaking etc. If patients have been avoiding these kinds of situations a lot in the past six months, social phobia may be diagnosed ( source1).
