What Causes Anxiety In Public Places Particularly In Crowd?

I fear going in crowds anywhere I will go for a drive with my wife and on the way home she will want to go to the mall of food shopping and I get so much anxiety . She thinks I am just making this up but it really gets me to the point that I start to hate her a n d just don't want to go out.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety in public place, if the symptoms and description given by you are perfect, is termed as agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety in situations where the sufferer perceives certain environments as dangerous or uncomfortable, often due to the environment's vast openness or crookedness.

Anxiety disorder is just a disorder and not a disease and requires no medications. Some life style changes and relaxation techniques along with psychotherapy should cure you.

You can post a direct question to me in this website. Include every detail about you. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques to treat your problem. I am sure that the techniques should be a success.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
