Overview
A phobia is an irrational fear of something that’s unlikely to cause harm. The word itself
comes from the Greek word phobos, which means fear or horror. Hydrophobia, for example,
literally translates to fear of water.
When someone has a phobia, they experience intense fear of a certain object or situation.
Phobias are different than regular fears because they cause significant distress, possibly
interfering with life at home, work, or school.
According to the DSM, specific phobias typically fall within five general categories:
fears related to animals (spiders, dogs, insects)
