What Is Phobia?
A phobia is an intense and irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity that poses little or no actual danger. Phobias are typically classified as anxiety disorders and can interfere with activities of daily life.
Common phobias include fear of heights (acrophobia), spiders (arachnophobia), enclosed spaces (claustrosphobia), public places (agoraphobia), and flying (aerophobia). Although the exact cause of phobias is still not fully understood, both genetic and environmental factors can influence their development.
The symptoms of a phobia can vary from person to person, but some common symptoms include:
- An intense and persistent fear or anxiety when faced with the object/situation/animal of the phobia.
- Avoidance of the situation of object/situation/animal of the phobia
- Physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, and nausea when faced with the object of the phobia.
- Panic attacks when faced with the object of the phobia or when anticipating exposure to the object of the phobia.
- Intrusive or unwanted thoughts about the object of the phobia.
Disclaimer: If these symptoms of fear, anxiety, or avoidance cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning, and last for at least 6 months or longer, it might be considered a disorder.
