What is Claustrophobia?
is considered as a specific phobia in anxiety disorders.
Being a fear of enclosed spaces, those who suffer often avoid the elevators, tunnels, underground, small rooms, use of medical diagnostic techniques such as CT or MRI. And is that the person is not afraid of claustrophobic enclosure itself, but to the possible negative consequences of being in that place, and stay locked up forever or asphyxiation believe that there is enough air in there. Most small, enclosed spaces pose a risk of being locked, as in an elevator, and a limitation of the movements, so people with claustrophobia may feel very vulnerable by limiting movements that way. When a person suffering from claustrophobia anticipates that it will enter, or enters in a confined space, experience an intense anxiety reaction and shortness of breath, palpitations or dizziness. Because these symptoms are usually avoided enclosed spaces. For example, take the stairs 12 floors rather than using the elevator, refusing to let him practice a TAC even when necessary, do not use the train or subway, would some cases.
As in other specific phobias, anxiety response diminishes considerably when the person leaves the site closed.
