General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Agarophobia runs in families though it can be caused due to fear that manifests as panic attacks. Agarophobia can be treated with medications like anti-depressants or anti-anxiety. Cognitive therapy & physical therapy is also effective.

Help him stay away from stress, addictions if any & take adequate sleep. Let him be physically examined, evaluated & treated at the earliest. He is suggested to see a Psychiatrist/Counselor & a Physiotherapist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
