What causes fear?
Having a deep fear means that you have a phobia or dread and may respond entirely irrationally. It’s common to panic when you’re exposed to the feared place, object, or situation. While you can certainly have any kind of phobia, some of the most well-known fears include:
-Fear of open spaces or places in which you can’t escape (agoraphobia)
-Medical or dental treatments (like hemophobia or dentophobia)
-Animal or insect bites (like arachnophobia)
-Social anxiety disorder (social phobia)
-Confined spaces (claustrophobia)
-Public speaking (glossophobia)
-Heights (acrophobia)
-Flying (aviophobia)
-Bridges
-Driving
Phobias can be debilitating and make you become withdrawn, so it’s important to understand the symptoms and seek mental health attention if you struggle with a fear.
