A phobia is an irrational fear, a kind of anxiety disorder in which the sufferer has a relentless dread of a situation, living creature, place or thing.
Individuals with a phobia go to great lengths to avoid a
perceived danger which is much greater in their minds than in real life. If
confronted with the source of their phobia, the person will suffer enormous
distress, which can interfere with their normal function; it can sometimes lead
to total panic. For some people, even thinking about their phobia is immensely
distressing.
A phobia starts when a person begins organizing their lives
around avoiding the object of their fear. A phobia is much more serious than a
simple fear.
