What is the prognosis for a person who has agoraphobia?

The long-term prognosis for most individuals with agoraphobia is generally good. With proper treatment, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and exposure therapy, many individuals can overcome their fears and experience significant improvement in their quality of life. Some people may experience persistent symptoms, but they are usually manageable and do not interfere with daily functioning. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for achieving a favorable outcome.
