广场恐怖症

定义

广场恐怖症的特点是对可能难以逃脱或无法得到帮助的多种情况产生明显和过度恐惧或焦虑，如使用公共交通、在拥挤人群中、独自在家外（如在商店、剧院、排队）。由于害怕特定的负面结果（如惊恐发作、其他丧失能力或令人尴尬的身体症状），患者对这些情况始终感到焦虑不安。这些情况是主动避免的，只在特定情况下进入，如一个值得信赖的同伴在场，或忍受强烈的恐惧或焦虑。症状至少持续数月，而且严重到足以导致个人、家庭、社会、教育、职业或其他重要功能领域的严重痛苦或伤害。

Agoraphobia is characterised by marked and excessive fear or anxiety that occurs in response to multiple situations where escape might be difficult or help might not be available, such as using public transportation, being in crowds, being outside the home alone (e.g., in shops, theatres, standing in line). The individual is consistently anxious about these situations due to a fear of specific negative outcomes (e.g., panic attacks, other incapacitating or embarrassing physical symptoms). The situations are actively avoided, entered only under specific circumstances such as in the presence of a trusted companion, or endured with intense fear or anxiety. The symptoms persist for at least several months, and are sufficiently severe to result in significant distress or significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
