Agoraphobia: This usually occurs in the context of panic disorder, characterized by sudden attacks of intense fear that trigger severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. This can become associated with certain locations and situations -- such that the person becomes afraid of leaving his/her house. This is agoraphobia, technically "fear of open spaces.".
