Phobias
A phobia is an inappropriate sense of anxiety or fear
triggered by exposure to a specific object or situation. People with phobias
have a strong desire to avoid whatever it is that is causing their fears.
There are three main types of phobia: Specific or Simple
phobias, Agoraphobia, Social phobia. Firstly, Specific or simple phobias are
very common in children, where they are essentially thought of as normal. But
some phobias carry on until adult life. These specific phobias can be divided
up as fears of: animals, nature, blood, certain situations. Secondly,
Agoraphobia means a fear of open spaces. However, it's often used to refer to a
fear of being away from home and family, often because of worry about having a
panic attack. Thirdly, Social phobia occurs when there is an excessive fear of
social situations, such as small groups of people at parties.
There are several different theories about why phobias develop. They do seem to run in families. But how much this is to do with picking up phobias from your parents and how much is inherited through your genes is uncertain. Young babies seem to be naturally afraid of animals such as snakes and of heights for instance, even though they need to learn to be afraid of man-made objects such as guns. So there is probably a natural fear response that gave our ancestors a survival advantage. It's possible that when phobias develop this natural fear response has gone wrong. Sometimes the start of a phobia may be triggered by a stressful life event, such as bereavement, illness or divorce. It might be possible to avoid phobias by encouraging children to face up to feared situations rather than stay away from them. However, this doesn't always work
