Review For Agoraphobia

I think this book is enlightening, and reveals that truth and righteousness can be attained. The first pages are a little confusing, the character repeats his words and thoughts, and cannot distinguish the truth. However, I was impressed with the remaining pages, that I thought was very intriguing. The passages and the concept of spring are brilliant, how the seasons represent life, and how the transition of winter to spring is similar to life and death.

I like how Jim waits inside the house, because his love knows where he is. I also like how Jim believes that "they" are there, as a thought or as the truth. As he thinks they could be somewhat imprisoning him; he doesn't know if they are waiting for her to be where he is. He also doesn't know if they are looking for him, or, they might not exist.

I like how this book describes a man who I think believes that death is near, and everything else is still far away. It is almost like a dream, where truth and understanding, in the end, is still untold. ... Read more

Description:
It is not clear if panic disorder (PD) and agoraphobia are variants of the same disorder or distinct diseases. A laboratory test could help resolve this issue. Research has shown that levels of the urinary lysosomal enzyme N-acetyl-@b-glusosaminidase (NAG) differ between patients with various psychiatric disorders. This study examined whether NAG levels would be similar in PD and agoraphobia, suggesting the two disorders may be the same disorder, or different, suggesting they may be distinct diseases. Differences found could suggest either qualitative or quantitative distinctions between these disorders. Ninety-one agoraphobics were compared to 24 patients with panic disorder. NAG levels were significantly lower in panic patients compared to agoraphobic patients 9.7 +/- 8 versus 22 +/- 21; P < .005. These data provide limited support for the hypothesis that PD and agoraphobia may be distinct diseases. ... Read more
