What is Phobia?

A PHOBIA is an extreme fear or morbid dread on something.

Ordinary fear is not a phobia. Yes, fear alone does not distinguish a phobia. Both fear and avoidance must be evident.

The word Phobia is Greek, therefore any word that is connected to it should be Greek, however, this rule has been broken many times in the past especially within the medical profession. They have used a Latin word affixed to the Greek stem to form some phobia names. the language pundits frown on this but it has happened time and time again over the years and these words become accepted.

Three different Categories of Phobias:

1. Agoraphobia (with and without panic attacks)
=> Irrational anxiety about being in places from which escape might be difficult or embarrassing.

2. Social Phobia
=>Irrational anxiety elicited by exposure to certain types of social or performance situations, also leading to avoidance behavior.

3. Specific Phobia
=> Persistent and irrational fear in the presence of some specific stimulus which commonly elicits avoidance of that stimulus, i.e., withdrawal.

SUBTYPES:

* animal type - cued by animals or insects.
* natural environment type - cued by objects in the environment,
such as storms, heights, or water.
* blood-injection-jury type - cued by witnessing some invasive
medical procedure.
* situational type-cued by specific situation, such as public
transportation, tunnels, bridges, elevators, flying, driving, or
enclosed spaces.
* other type - cued by other stimuli than the above, such as
choking, vomiting, or contracting an illness.
