Phobia
Phobia: an irrational fear of a particular object or situation – the fear response is excessive and disproportionate to the threat posed. The stimulus is comparatively small compared to the severity of the reaction . This is a lasting abnormal fear that is usually deep rooted in a patient's emotions and often its origin cannot be explained, although this is not always the case .The patient has little or no control over the phobia and logical thought is not a feature
A phobia can significantly change a patient's behaviour Embarrassment and shame are often present.
