Athazagoraphobia is defined as the fear of forgetting, being ignored, or generally anything dealing with the idea of forgetfulness. The definition can be extended to depression, anger, or deliberate isolation caused by one being forgotten, or dealing with death (thus being forgotten by those who have passed away).

Agoraphobia is the fear of public or open spaces. More particularly, agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterised by an uneasiness, fear or dread about leaving familiar surroundings. This may include a reluctance to travel, particularly on public transport, or to be in crowded places. It is often associated with severe physical symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. Agoraphobia is a condition related to anxiety, depression, panic and other phobias.
Agoraphobia is a condition where the sufferer becomes anxious in environments that are unfamiliar or where he or she perceives that they have little control. Further information is linked to the reference below.
Agoraphobia is a fear of people. People who suffer from agoraphobia typically never leave home, because even the thought of being in a car where people can see them is scary for them. It is typically brought on by some sort of anxiety disorder or OCD and progresses into an absolutely disabling condition.

Agoraphobia is the fear of being in a place where help is not available, NOT as it is commonly mistaken, a fear of the outdoors. Such a place may include the outdoors, but also crowds, markets, bazaars etc.

The word "agoraphobia" is an English adaptation of the Greek words agora (αγορά) and phobos (φόβος), and literally translates to "a fear of the marketplace." Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to his or her home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."
