What is a phobia?

Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:

person (like a doctor or clown)

situation

If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:

exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of

thinking about the thing you’re afraid of

anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
