Consultation

Fear and phobias are put exceedingly apart on the anxiety spectrum. While phobias are all about extreme and dreadful fear. Yet, stating a phobia as a mere fear of something would be very unfair. Phobias are excessive fear or anxiety related to a specific object, situation, or entity which grows out of proportion compared to the actual danger they represent. While a limited fear can be controlled and managed, phobias are nearly impossible to get a hold of while in the episode. They can cause dysfunction due to the avoidance behaviour in a person’s life.

Phobias are characterized by a persistent, irrational, and reasonable fear of an object, situation, or entity. Exposure to such a thing can elicit intense fear, powerlessness to control, and impairment in working.
