Understanding Phobias
Phobias are one of the most common mental health conditions, affecting up to 10% of people at some point in their lives. They involve intense, often irrational fear of specific objects, situations, or experiences. Despite knowing the fear is out of proportion, many individuals feel powerless to control it.
Common symptoms include:
- Panic or dread when encountering a trigger.
- Sweating, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat.
- Nausea, dizziness, or gastrointestinal distress.
- Urge to flee the situation.
- Crying, clinginess, or tantrums in children.
With the right care, even long-standing phobias can become manageable, and recovery is possible.
