Here is an intersting site that provides information on how the brain works.
Anxiety provoking situations also cause many people with overactive basal ganglia to become frozen with fear unable to leave their homes. Agoraphobia (fear of being in public) occurs when people fear having panic attacks and become so frozen, that they can’t even leave their own homes. The fear keeps them frozen. I have treated many people who have been housebound for years (one lady for 40 years) because of fear of having a panic attack. She could not look past her disability, but became frozen by fear.
