With anxiety disorder, an otherwise perfectly normal individual suffers from nervousness to the point he/she can no longer conduct his/her life in exactly the way he/she would like to.

Panic attacks are often the next step after an anxiety disorder takes hold of a person’s life.  Panic attacks come in spells and totally decapitate the sufferer to the point all he/she can do is strive to get through the horrible spell.

Once a panic attack occurs in a public place, the nervously ill person may associate the place of the attack with the panic spell.  So, the sufferer will not return to that place.

Once he/she experiences panic in several places, often this person will become afraid to leave the home altogether.  This fear of leaving home or technically speaking, fear of the market place, is agoraphobia.
