A phobia is defined as the unrelenting fear of a situation, activity, or thing. These are largely under reported, probably because many phobia sufferers find ways to avoid the situations to which they are phobic. Statistics that estimate how many people suffer from phobias vary widely.

In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment or a fear of harm. For example, those suffering from agoraphobia fear being trapped in an inescapable place or situation.

Phobias
Can you imagine being so afraid of something that it becomes hard to breathe? That your anxiety is so high that you are completely frozen? What if you did not know when you would experience this level of fear which could happen at any time and you live your life trying to avoid it? This is what having a phobia can feel like. According to the National Institute of Health, more than 3.6 million Americans have a phobia of some sort and can live with fear like this every day. Upon learning about other people's phobias, some people can say that they sound irrational and don't make sense, but this is how a phobia can be characterized.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition there are different types of phobias: social phobias, specific phobias and agoraphobia. Social phobias can be divided into two categories: generalized social phobia and specific social phobia. Generalized social phobia is better known as social anxiety disorder. According to Franklin Schneider 2006, approximately 12% of Americans have social anxiety disorder at some time in their life. This disorder can be explained as the fear of being judged or by doing something embarrassing in public. This disorder may cause sufferers to avoid social situations as much as possible. Specific social phobia is more targeted and can be experienced in social situations with specific triggers such as someone with glossophobia who fears public speaking. Glossophobia is thought to be the most common phobia in America.
The most well known types of phobias are those which fall under the category of specific phobias. These are phobias which cause the sufferer to go out of his or her way to avoid the thing that cause this fear altogether. Specific phobias themselves can be divided into 5 different types: Animal type (such as arachnophobia, a fear of spiders), natural environment type (such as claustrophobia, a fear of confined spaces), situational type (such as acrophobia, a fear of heights), blood/injection/injury type (such as necrophobia, a fear of death) and other. Specific phobias are very common among children between the ages of 7 and 13 and can often been seen as a normal part of the developmental process.
Agoraphpobia is the final kind of phobia noted by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. Agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces which often leaves the sufferer house-bound for many years, unable to leave the walls of their home for fear of what lies outside of these walls. I have an aunt who suffers from this kind of phobia and rarely leaves her house even though she has nothing to do there and it makes her life very difficult. As we said before, these fears can be completely irrational to those who do not suffer from them.
But how can we diagnose a phobia? One fact is that we cannot diagnose a .

Illness does not ask, it demands.

2. A phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or
situation.
In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment
or fear of harm.
3. • The first written reference to phobic
problems is in the works of the
ancient Greek physician
Hippocrates. He wrote about his
patients.
• In one of his works
Hippocrates described a condition
in a man named Nicanor. Whenever
Nicanor went out at night, he would
get terrified of the sound of flute.
When the piper began to play, the
music immediately threw him into
such a great fright, (Oddly, the flute
music only bothered Nicanor at night
and, in the daylight he was fine.)
4. Phobia Fear
A phobia is similar to a fear with
one key difference: the anxiety they
experience is so strong that it
interferes with their quality of life
and/ or their ability to function
A fear is an emotional response to a
real or perceived threat. Fears are
common in the population and are
often normal -- or at least innocuous
-- reactions to objects or events
5. Phobias are more than just a simple fear and can be developed through
childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood
what are the causes of phobia?
phobias can be caused due to either Genetics or environmental factors
other reasons for phobias can be :
• Children with close relatives
that have certain phobias like
anxiety can make the child

• Being exposed to small spaces ,
extreme heights and some kind

• And the most severe: fear of dying

does not portray any form of harm to other people and can be considered illogical
to some.
Other physical symptoms include:
• Not being able to function well in the presence of

and times passes till it turns into a fear (Phobia) . it
is not necessarily a genetic cause sometimes an
unpleasant event happened which left a mark on
the child
from the name this type of phobia is a complicated type, because it is a
combination of genetics , brain chemistry and certain life experiences.
another cause of complex phobia can be found in the field of neuroscience. the

brain which it starts to develop some kind of fear (Phobia).
Simple phobia:
Complex phobia
14. How well phobia treatment will work depends partly on the severity of the
phobia. Though some phobias are never completely cured, therapy can help
many people learn to function effectively.
Types of therapy include:
Counter-Conditioning
Psychotherapy
Medication
Some overcame their fears by attending phobia clinics and support groups
15. Counter-conditioning
• Some patients cannot handle flooding in any form,
so an alternative classical conditioning technique is
used called counter-conditioning (Watson, 1924).
• The patient is trained to substitute a relaxation
response for the fear response in the presence of
the phobic stimulus. Relaxation is incompatible with
feeling fearful or having anxiety, so it is said that the
relaxation response counters the fear response.
• For some phobias, desensitization therapy and
relaxation techniques are very successful.
This desensitization involves three steps:
Teach relaxation techniques (e.g. slow breathing)
Establish hierarchy of fear (low-high)
Work up hierarchy, pairing each level with relaxation
16. Psychotherapy
• Treating social phobia usually involves gradual exposure
to social situations, along with role-playing and rehearsal.
Individuals are taught methods to reduce the anxiety they
feel. They are also encouraged to be less critical of
themselves.
• The best treatment for agoraphobia is to gradually move
the phobic person into the places and situations that trigger
anxiety. By taking small steps each day – with the company
of a trusted person - a sufferer eventually learns to cope
with situations that once caused intense fear.
• This way of treatment is most often used in a systematic
way to very gradually introduce the feared stimulus in a
step-by-step fashion known as systematic
desensitization, first used by Joseph Wolpe (1958)
• Relaxation techniques, and regular deep breathing help to
overcome anxiety during treatment.
17. Medication
• The therapist may sometimes decide that
medications will help. In the treatment of
phobias, medications are used in conjunction
with therapy and may not necessarily be a part
of initial treatment.
• Antidepressants reuptake inhibitors like paroxetine or antianxiety, can be
especially helpful in the treatment of social phobia and preventing panic attacks
that take part in phobias such as agoraphobia. This way, the patients can deal
with the problem itself without having to deal with the panic attacks that come
from it
• Short-term treatment may also include sedative-hypnotic drugs can relieve
anxiety but may be habit-forming and cause drowsiness. Therefore, they may
not be the best choice when long-term symptom control is needed, or when one
has to be fully alert and perform certain tasks such as driving or operating
machines.
• Beta-blockers are also sometimes given lessen the fear response.
• Finally, some anticonvulsant medicines such as Neurontin and Lyrica have been
shown in early research studies to have value for several forms of social phobia
including anxiety disorder
