Agoraphobia + Panic: Panic disorder with agoraphobia can be a disabling condition. A psychotherapist may be able to provide you & your family members with specific tools to help overcome this condition more effectively. Patience & active support from family members is extremely important as you go through this process as there is no "quick fix". At times certain medications may have to be utilized to augment therapy.
