Hey all...what's the name of the disorder in which people are afraid if the outdoors and large spaced and all? The opposite of claustrophobic.

Agoraphobia- Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place.

[edit]

Hrm, I thought it was spelt 'agrophobia'.

Any idea on the pronounciation?

I thought I had been pronouncing it correctly all the time but a friend called me on it.

A-gore-a-phobia.

Though I'm pretty sure it's been refined in recent years to encompass a wider range of symptoms.
