Psychological Counseling at Chennai - Pondicherry & Panruti
Phobias
A phobia is a persistent and
irrational fear of a certain object, animal, activity, or situation that poses
little to no actual danger.
Causes
Specific phobias are a type
of anxiety disorder in which a person may feel extremely anxious or has a
pannic attack when exposed to the object of fear. Specific phobias are one of
the most common psychiatric disorders, affecting up to 10% of people.
Common phobias include the fear of:
·
Blood,
injections, and other medical procedures
·
Certain
animals (for instance, dogs or snakes)
·
Enclosed
spaces
·
Flying
·
High places
·
Insects or
spiders
·
Lightning
Symptoms
·
Being
exposed to the feared object, or even thinking about being exposed to it causes
an anxiety reaction.
·
This fear or
anxiety is much stronger than the real threat.
·
You may
sweat excessively, have problems controlling your muscles or actions, or have a
fast heart rate.
·
You will
avoid situations in which you may come into contact with the feared object or
animal -- for example, avoiding driving through tunnels, if tunnels are the
subject of your phobia. This type of avoidance can interfere with your job and
social life.
·
You may feel
weak or cowardly and lose self-esteem when avoiding the object of the phobia.
