It is true what you say, when you do take into consideration that my family docter did not know I was agoraphobic until he met me 4 year's later after the fact.  If the survey had been given at my docter's I would not have been there to reply.  I am certain the number's will change but if you look at it as an average it is a good estimate.  My 2 cents.

Ah!  I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take credit away from your post...
Just my perspective on the numbers...

Aha, those surveys are funny.  They only accommodate those who have come out with their problem and seen someone about it...for the agoraphobics, and those who just don't want to answer...well, I would bet the number changes.
