Nevertheless, when the state of anxiety reached an excessive, intense and prolonged phase which affects ones ordinary activities, it implies a potential mental state generally termed as anxiety disorder.

The condition is often compounded with fear of social embarrassment as well as the fear of the onset of a panic attack, which causes the individual to appear distraught. Sufferers can experience attacks at the most inconvenient of times, which is why severe cases of agoraphobia may confine the sufferer to his or her home, thus making it hard for them to accomplish daily tasks.

There is no one particular cause for agoraphobia. Sometimes, it can be a result of frightening or traumatic experiences.

I am 65 and retired after a lifetime teaching- I have tried many things including acupuncture,cognitive behaviour therapy, diet modification chinese medicine(herbs) supplements such as Korean ginseng- I try to keep my mind active by being involved in things- I help at a school on two half days per week and I teach computers to senior citizens and learn Bridge on another day. This has helped but on the other days I find it more difficult because if I try to read for example, I just fall asleep. I can’t do a lot of gardening because I suffer with a very bad back. I go walking half an hour a day. What i’d like to do is get back to golf. I’m waiting for the cooler weather and back strngthening exercises I’m doing to work. I have prostate cancer and a heart problem but I don’t worry about these – the cancer is not causing any problems at this popint in time.Any ideas to help withthe chronic fatigue.????
I checked out sleep apnoea- but that cause was ruled out.
I am a christian and pray to God every day. This has helped me to keep going when I get rally down. I’m having the problem right now trying to keep focussed on what I’m doing.
