Phobias | NDK research

 According to healthline.com  & nihm.nih.gov phobia is

A phobia is an excessive and irrational fear reaction. If you have a phobia, you may experience a deep sense of dread or panic when you encounter the source of your fear. The fear can be of a certain place, situation, or object. Unlike general anxiety disorders, a phobia is usually connected to something specific. 

Specific phobia is an intense, irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. Although adults with phobias may realize that these fears are irrational, even thinking about facing the feared object or situation brings on severe anxiety symptoms.

  • Situational phobias. Such as flying, going to the dentist, tunnels, small spaces or escalators.

  • Other phobias.
