It could be that that really is your diagnosis -- Anxiety Disorder, Severe. Your pdoc may not be avoiding the issue, but answering it. Remember, you don't have to have multiple dx, and an anxiety disorder of any sort can be pretty devastating on its own, without inviting any other dxs to the table.

I don't think that any medication can get you out of the house, I think that's psychological and behavioral. And that's not meant as anything other than an observation -- I run through periods of intense agoraphobia, where I won't leave the house if I can help it. Meds don't help with that, though. I can be happy and bubbly and generally asymptomatic -- and still not want to leave the house.

Have you tried some therapy? That's the best for me, and it's at least one thing a week that I have to leave the house for, which is a big benefit. At least once a week, I have to shower, dress, put on SHOES, fer cryin' out loud. And once I'm out, I usually do other things, too: run errands, etc.

Can you identify triggers for you outside the house? I know, for instance, where my anxiety about leaving the house comes from. That helps, especially since I know what it will take to help me get past it. If you can identify what your trigger point is, that can help you ease your way back into going out.

Good luck.
