Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello...........
Thanks for your query. The symptoms you describe point towards agoraphobia, a type of anxiety disorder. The treatment consists of:
1. Anti-anxiety medication like SSRIs
2. Psychotherapy techniques like systemic desensitisation
He would require a thorough psychiatric evaluation to rule out other anxiety disorders and to plan the treatment strategy. Wish him good health.

Psychiatrist Dr. J. Clive Spiegel's  Response
This sounds like agoraphobia or social phobia, or even both. An antidepressant medication (sertraline, paroxetine) is the most eficacious (and safest) bet for diminishing these symptoms. Consult your general doctor or a good psychiatrist.
