There's no cure for agoraphobia but treatment and counseling as well as medicines can sometimes help manage the condition of agoraphobia.

The condition agoraphobia causes people to have a fear of public embarrassment and fear of leaving their house.

Some people have managed to leave their house when they have agoraphobia but it can be very hard for some people to even get out of the house.

Some people who have agoraphobia may not leave their house for months or even a year or so without help from someone.

If someone does have agoraphobia it can be very crippling and make it hard for someone to get a job so they may have to get onto disability payments to have an income.

I have a friend who has agoraphobia and she was denied disability for quite awhile but eventually she got it but she also makes money through blogging and Youtube.

She has a fear of going out into public but she managed to be able to go on camera and makes a lot of money now.

So you could make money blogging or through Youtube channels if you have agoraphobia and cannot get disability payments.
