Claustrophobia is not associated with any anatomical defect, therefore it needs to be treated as a psychological problem. Behaviour modification, biofeedback, aversion de-conditioning, positive imagery and similar techniques can be applied by a qualified psychologist. A psychiatrist may be able to help by exploring the historical events leading to the development of the claustrophobia, or it may be more efficient to prescribe a simple anti-anxiety medication such as alpaca. Yoga breathing exercises would offer an alternative method for controlling the problem.
