Claustrophobia

Claustrophobia is a type of phobia. A phobia is an irrational or disproportionate fear of an object, activity or situation. People who are claustrophobic have an intense, irrational fear of enclosed spaces. Being claustrophobic is a very individual experience. Some people only feel mildly anxious when they are in a confined or crowded space. Others feel extremely anxious and can experience a panic attack.
