Answers:
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc..) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc..

Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level..
But there are natural ways to do it without medication..

The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced...... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind.. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that

learned behavior.. A technique will be Distraction...... learn more at the sourceHealth Question & Answer

Well, personally I have a pretty mild case of agoraphoblia and it really only hits me in large public spaces like malls.. I You can talk to your doc and they have some decent meds out there, but its really about mentally finding an anchor that you can use when you start to feel anxious.. What I mean is, you need to have something that you can either do or say to yourself that makes you feel safe.. Again, personally if I have to go to a mall I carry a stress ball with me and it seems to help..

Another thing I have done recently is trying to intentionally put myself in public places for short periods of time, wait till I start to panic and then leave immediately.. Kinda like training myself to get used to the stress.. Health Question & Answer
