Fears and Phobias
Phobias are a very common form of anxiety disorder, varying in severity among individuals. Most people who suffer from a phobia are only too well aware that it is irrational, but are powerless to override their initial panic reaction, while others can simply avoid the object of their fear and suffer only relatively mild anxiety. However, many people who suffer from a phobia experience full-fledged panic attacks with all the associated disabling symptoms.What's The Difference?
Let’s start with a brief explanation of the difference between a fear and a phobia.
Fear exists for a reason and can be a very useful survival mechanism. After all, it’s fear that lets you know that you need to take care of yourself and the people in your life. It’s like a voice saying: ‘You need to take action’, and as such, it is rational.Phobias, on the other hand, are very different. They are irrational in nature, being out of all proportion to the object or situation which elicits the fear. People can be phobic towards almost anything, from velvet to water. Like chronic pain, phobias really serve no useful purpose.
How Many Phobias Are There?
There are well over 500 recognised phobias. Space does not allow a full listing here, but some of the most common ones we see include:
Agoraphobia Dental Phobia Fear of Needles Fear of Flying Fear of Driving Fear of Being Sick Fear of Public Speaking Fear of Urinating - 'Shy Bladder'
