PHOBIA
INTRODUCTION
Phobia is a pathological fear of a particular class of objects or situations that are unrelated or even disproportionate to the threat they seem to present. Like obsessions or compulsions, many people have minor phobias that cause them some distress but do not obstruct daily life. It is only when the fear begins interfering with normal social functioning that it demands professional help.
