[|Human|] Hi, I am wondering if fear of crowds such as shopping malls can be associated with aggressive behaviour in an adult male?Could panic caused by crowd of strangers spark aggression to the strangers? Is this a phobia. The person does not want to shop at weekend as there may be crowds. He sometimes is aggressive to strangers while out and I hear stories of his aggressive behaviour when young while out.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Yes it could be a manifestation of phobia. Agoraphobia can cause such a presentation and the person can react violently as well. He needs proper treatment. Structured graded systematic desensitization can be helpful in this case. Also, the medicines such as paroxetine and Escitalopram can help you in such cases.  Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
