Fear is one of the most basic human emotions. It is programmed into the nervous system and works like an instinct. From the time we're infants, we are equipped with the survival instincts necessary to respond with fear when we sense danger or feel unsafe.
Fear helps protect us. It alerts us to danger and prepares us to deal with it. Feeling afraid is natural and helpful in some situations. Fear can be like a warning, a signal that cautions us to be careful.
A phobia on the other hand is a type of anxiety disorder. It is a strong, irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. There are many specific phobias. Acrophobia is a fear of heights. You may be able to ski the world's tallest mountains but be unable to go above the 5th floor of an office building.
Agoraphobia is a fear of public places, and claustrophobia is a fear
of closed-in places. If you become anxious and extremely self-conscious in everyday social situations, you could have a social phobia. Other common phobias involve tunnels, highway driving, water, flying, animals and blood.
People with phobias try to avoid what they are afraid of. If they cannot, they may experience:
* Panic and fear
* Rapid heartbeat
* Shortness of breath
* Trembling
* A strong desire to get away.
