“Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by symptoms of anxiety in situations where the person perceives their environment to be unsafe with no way to escape. These situations can include public transit, shopping centers, crowds and queues, or simply being outside their home on their own.”

    Hmm, my only frame of reference for agoraphobia is from a detective series called Monk (referring to Monk’s brother, Ambrose).

    Have you watched Monk? If you have, and have seen the episode that Ambrose is introduced, do you think the show’s depiction of agoraphobia accurate?

    If you haven’t and like detective series, maybe you could try Monk? I liked it.

      I’m gonna admit I haven’t watched any shows or movies that portray agoraphobia, but I’ll write this down!

        I’d like to second the suggestion of Monk. It’s just a pretty decent show on its own but Tony Shalhoub really just makes the show excellent.
