HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
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 crowdedness. I think, you have depression and in depression, anxiety symptoms are common. Carry on with prozac and you will improve with time. You can also try relaxation exercise, that would help you.
