Below, you can find a list of activities and situations which people with panic attacks are known to avoid. You should indicate to what extent you avoid these activities and/or situations that make you feel unpleasant or anxious. Indicate the degree of avoidance for when you are with someone you trust and for when you are alone.
Scoring:
1 = I never avoid it
2 = I rarely avoid it
3 = I avoid it sometimes
4 = I usually avoid it
5 = I always avoid it
