Definition A common mental illness characterized by an irrational fear of a particular object or situation. Specific phobias have two main components A strong and consistent fear of an object or situation that the individual realizes poses no actual threat. The response results in the intentional avoidance of the feared object or situation, causing difficulties within the individual’s life as decisions are made in order to steer clear of the feared stimulus.

Symptoms Excessive or irrational fear of a specific object or situation Avoidance of object or situation Physical Symptoms Nausea Panic attack Shortness of breath Sweating Etc. Anticipatory anxiety
