Agoraphobia.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Manoj started a new job in a large city. The easiest way to get to work is to take the subway, but he tried that once and experienced such fear that he had a panic attack. He has decided to rent an apartment across the street from work so he never has to take the subway again. Manoj likely has agoraphobia.

Agoraphobia can be defined as a type of anxiety disorder in which an individual has abnormal and persistent fear of open spaces, crowded places or any such situation such as a subway that might cause them to feel trapped, unable to escape thereby causing them to panic, helpless or feel embarrassed.

Hence, anyone suffering from agoraphobia would detest going to open or crowded places and avoids leaving their house due to irrational fear of being trapped or access to escape is impossible.

Furthermore, you should note that agoraphobia is a mental condition which has no cure but can only be treated temporarily because it is usually chronic.
