Panic disorder is a type of anxiety where a person constantly keeps having panic or fear about something. "Do you have panic disorder? I remember when I was going through it, I felt so lost and alone and I had no idea panic disorder was even a thing. I truly just thought I was dying or losing my mind. Panic disorder is a real thing, but you can get through it," wrote Therapist Taylor Barone.(Unsplash)

They fear that other places can give them panic attacks, and hence they feel scared to leave their homes. (Unsplash)
