What Is A Phobia?

How Phobias Work | The Cure | Other Treatments | Tools

According to the Cambridge International Dictionary of English, a phobias is "extreme fear of a particular thing or situation, especially one that cannot be reasonably explained."

Dictionary.com defines a phobia as;
"A persistent, abnormal, or irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid the feared stimulus."

Some mental health professionals would add that a phobia is a fear that interferes in a person's life. So, if you have a fear of flying and it causes you to cancel trips or plan around your fear it would be considered a problem.

Some estimate that twelve percent of the population will experience a phobia at some point in their lives.

Common symptoms include shortness of breath, redness in the face, heart palpitations, excessive sweating, dizziness, nausea and an inability to speak or think clearly. Various sufferers experience various combinations of these symptoms (and other symptoms).

If you experience some or all of these symptoms and the avoidance of the anxiety-producing situation is causing problems in your life you may have a phobia.
