Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

The symptoms that developing anxiety in situations when away from family or familial places is most likely due to agoraphobic anxiety. Usually in agoraphobia individual perceives unfamiliar things as potential danger or anxiety provoking. It causes significant distress and may result in precipitation of panic attacks. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for treatment of such symptoms.
In anxiety medicines like SSRIs are commonly used. Commonly used medicines are SERTRALINE, ESCITALOPRAM, PAROXETINE, FLUOXETINE etc. For sever anxiety situations for relief of symptoms medicines like PROPRANOLOL, ETIZOLAM etc can be used.
Apart from that BEHAVIOR THERAPY also have excellent results in anxiety.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
