Phobias

Phobias, manifested by overwhelming and irrational fears, are common. In most cases, people can avoid or at least endure phobic situations, but in some cases, as with agoraphobia, the anxiety associated with the feared object or situation can be incapacitating.

The most common phobias are fear of animals (usually spiders, snakes, or mice), flying, heights, water, injections, public transportation, confined spaces, dentists, storms, tunnels, and bridges. When confronting the object or situation, the phobic person experiences panicky feelings, sweating, avoidance behavior, difficulty breathing, and a rapid heartbeat.
