Phobias: The Scope Of The ProblemHow Phobias Work | The Cure | Other Treatments | Tools Phobias, fears, panic disorders and anxiety disorders are a major problem world-wide. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders are the number one mental health disorder among women and second only to alcoholism among men. Fears, anxiety and phobias affect all types and ages of people. Studies done in the eighties indicated that over 28 million Americans suffer from anxiety disorders but more recent surveys suggest much higher figures; in fact, anxiety is the epidemic of this decade. Anxiety disorders, nervousness, shyness, dread, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), terror, aversion, fright and panic attacks cost over 4 billion dollars each year. Nearly 5.3 million American adults have a social phobia in a given year. Social situations can literally scare or terrify those with social phobia. Phobias prevent people from taking better jobs, going on vacation, enjoying themselves fully and many other things. Folks with fear of dentists or fear of doctors often don't receive much needed medical care. Doctors are prescribing costly medication with dangerous side-effects. Companies are offering painful, expensive and lengthy "desensitization" courses which expose you to your phobia little-by-little over a period of weeks. People with phobias often feel unable to experience life fully, out of control or low self-esteem. But how do these problems get started? How Do Phobias Work? How are they created in the first place?
