Friday, October 3rd, 2008Did you know that 4 out of every 5 people diagnosed with agoraphobia are female?
That doesn’t necessarily mean that more women than men actually HAVE agoraphobia, but women are 4 times more likely to be diagnosed.
Researchers have explored some possible explanations for this phenomenon and I just posted an article that discusses them.
To read more about why more women are diagnosed with agoraphobia, look in the articles section of this website under “Causes and Development.”
My article is called “Is Agoraphobia a Women’s Disease?”
