M...I do not write to people at email addresses, only here on Yahoo Answers.  Anthrophobia sounds, in essense, what is diagnosed here in American as Social Anxiety Disorder in it's extrene form with agoraphobic tendencies.

Different countries and heritages treat things differently, but here we seek professional help sometimes for medications and sometimes for therapy.  A form of therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is most often used to treat Social Anxiety Disorder.

A good book to learn more about how to help yourself with these conditions is called The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Dr. Edmund Bourne.  It is available online at Amazon.com.  You seem to be very proficient at English, so I think you could benefit from the book.

Good luck to you.  Please know that you are not alone.
