Abstract: A phobia is a type of anxiety condition characterized by an overwhelming and ongoing fear of a thing or circumstance. An instant anxiety reaction is triggered when the source of the fear is exposed. An uncontrollable, illogical, and persistent fear of a certain thing, circumstance, or action is called a phobia. A person may take extreme measures to avoid the source of their fear since it can be so overwhelming. A panic attack is one possible reaction. This is an abrupt, severe fear that last for a few minutes. When there isn't any actual threat, it occurs.
