Everyone feels anxious from time to time. However, if your anxiety is so strong that it keeps you from enjoying life and forces you to avoid certain situations, places, or activities, you may be experiencing a phobia.
An individual suffering from a phobia experiences extreme fear of something. They are often aware that their fear is irrational, but they cannot control it.
Phobias are diagnosable mental disorders and can be treated through psychological intervention.
If you experience extreme distress when faced with the source of your phobia, it is best to seek out professional support.
