Sometimes, fears become excessive and irrational, to the point where we can’t function normally. The intense worry and avoidance caused by these fears can interrupt day to day living, causing panic when that fear is encountered – that’s when the fear becomes a phobia.

Specific phobias are further grouped into five major categories: environment, situational, animal, blood/injection/injury, and others.
