I have a weird fear of open spaces, it's called Agoraphobia.
Yes, it is characterized by symptoms of anxiety where you feel unsafe. 
Yes, exactly. What is the cause of it do you know?
some people would say these events result in panic attacks
Yes what other symptoms can they cause?
if you want to know the cause, it could be a mix of genetic and enviormental factors
That makes sense, so it can be hereditary? 
Yes it can, and it could also trigger seperation anxiety or major depressive disorders
What are some symptoms of anxiety? 
look for help, because without treatment, it will not go away on its own
