Phobias
"Fear" is a normal reaction to something that is usually
considered a real danger. Such as the possibility of being
physically hurt. But the word "phobia" is used to describe a
fear that is either excessive, or not logical. To someone
suffering from a particular phobia, certain dangers may even
be imagined.
Phobias can
affect men, women, children, adults, and people from any part
of the world. Symptoms of phobia may include intense
feelings of panic, terror, or dread. Symptoms may even be
physical, in the form of shaking, shortness of breath, or a
strong urge to leave the area or situation. In some cases, to
try to avoid certain places or situations. Even though some
people realize that they have a phobia, they can't change how
their fears make them behave.
Phobias may
include:
-
Fear of animals
(dogs, bugs, mice, snakes)
-
Fear of closed
spaces such as likes elevators
-
Fear of being in
crowded areas
-
Fear of speaking
in public
-
Fear of being
watched by others
-
Fear of heights
However, many
people can overcome their phobias for years or the rest of
their lives, with the right treatment.
