She's developed agoraphobia. Drugs don't cure the problem they only "drug" the symptoms- along with drugging many other positive emotions, too.
Agoraphobia is, simply put, a subconscious bad habit you develop when under stress. A small part of the brain clicks over into "High Alert" and gets stuck in the fear mode. There is a way to get over that without the harmful side effects of drugs (which don't cure anything.) It's not a disease. It's not a disorder. It's not a "chemical imbalance". She's not "mental". There's nothing medically wrong with her!
Drop me a line and I'll give you link for recovery. (I'd post the link here but they get a lot of spam emails if I do)

Your poor sister has a phobia that's got out of control. There's no shame in that at all, but she really does need professional help to get it sorted out quickly & with the minimum distress.
First stop is definatately the GP. They'll probably prescribe a mild sedative or anti-depressent and refer her for some type of counselling.
You or your sister can call SANELINE on 0845 767 8000 for advice and support. They will talk to you anonymously and will offer guidance on where to find help & support.
Your sister will need to use your strength for a while yet. She's so lucky to have your around. Be strong for her. x

This sounds like it could be a case of agoraphobia. You should get her to see a doctor (even if this takes a house call if she won't leave the house). Also try talking to your parents/family members to see if there is a history of mental health probs in your family. A doctor will be able to prescribe the best meds for the condition and may well prescribe some therapy/counselling or a support group she could attend.

Sounds like a mild form of paranoia, and would suggest a psychologist visit her to get to the root of the problem

Hypnotherapy could also be worth a try (make sure you contact only registered, liscensed regressionists) Her fear is probably conected to something horrific which happened in a past life. Once confronted and understood, her fear will probably pass. Good Luck! Xx

She's agoraphobic. Please help her out, she needs to see a doctor. They will most likely put her on anxiety pills, dependind on the extent of her phobias/depression. She's gonna need your support, so be there for her and help her get back into the world.
