Agoraphobia

from Victoria Derbyshire's Interviews of the Week · host BBC Radio 5 Live

Pat Cooper is 77 and her entire adult life has been blighted by agoraphobia. She hasn't been to her local town Darlington since the 60s and has only managed brief visits to her local corner shop, when supported by her daughter. She's missed holidays, family weddings, Christmas shopping and many other days out. The programme speaks to Pat and her grandson Kevin - and talks to a doctor who says he's angry people like Pat haven't had the treatment they need.
