The first case of claustrophobia was recorded in the 1870s by a French physician. He described two patients who complained of feelings of fear and anxiety when inside their apartments behind closed doors: At the time, Paris was rapidly urbanizing, with the city becoming more crowded with people and with conditions becoming more cramped. Soon after the Paris cases were documented.
