SPECIFIC PHOBIAS

A Specific Phobia is a fear of something that has no actual danger.

Some common phobias are:

 Dogs
 Flying
 Water
 Driving
 Tunnels
 Elevators
 Heights
 Being Closed In

People with a Specific Phobia can have a panic attack or severe anxiety just thinking of what they fear.

There are 6.3 million adults affected by Specific Phobias. This disorder is twice as common in women than men.

The reason for Specific Phobias is not well understood, but there is some evidence to support the assumption that this disorder might run in families.

Specific Phobias are highly treatable with medication and therapy.
