What Is a Phobia? : What Is a Phobia? A phobia is defined as the unrelenting fear of a situation, activity, or thing that causes one to want to avoid it. Phobias afflict more than 6 million people in the United States. Women tend to be twice as likely to suffer from a phobia compared to men. Different Types of Phobias? : Different Types of Phobias? There are several types of phobias, including social, situational, animal, and specific phobias (fear of particular items or objects). While the list of phobias is almost endless, we'll take a look at some of the most common phobias on the next slides. Social Phobia : Social Phobia Also known as social anxiety disorder, social phobia is an excessive fear of embarrassment in social situations. Examples include fears of public speaking, meeting new people, and other social situations. Slide 6: General characteristics Fear of being in social situations in which one will be embarrassed or humiliated. SOCIAL PHOBIA : SOCIAL PHOBIA Interaction of psychosocial and biological causal factors. Social phobias as learned behavior. Social fears and phobias in an evolutionary context. Preparedness and social phobia. Agoraphobia : Agoraphobia Agoraphobia is a fear of in a situation from which one either cannot escape or from which escaping would be difficult or humiliating. Although agoraphobia, like other mental disorders, it also tends to run in families and for some people, may have a clear genetic factor. Claustrophobia : Claustrophobia Claustrophobia is an abnormal and persistent fear of closed spaces, as in elevators, tunnels, or any other confined space. This type of fear is excessive and quite common. Zoophobia : Zoophobia Zoophobia is a term that encompasses fears of specific types of animals such as spiders (arachnophobia), snakes (ophidiophobia), birds (ornithophobia), bees (apiphobia), etc. Achulophobia: : Achulophobia: It is common for many people to be afraid of dark because they think that there are monsters hiding under their beds and in their closets. These sorts of fears come about as a result of things that they don't yet quite understand and this lack of understanding can be manifested into fear of the unknown, such as being afraid of the dark. This fear can easily develop into a phobia that is known as achluophobia. People who suffer this will often suffer symptoms such as anxiety, nervousness, insomnia and/or sweating. Phasmophobia: : Phasmophobia: Phasmophobia, or the fear of ghosts. Most of us experience a certain thrill of anxiety when telling ghost stories or watching movies that feature ghosts and other supernatural entities. Most people are able to control this fear but for some people this fear is over whelming and life-limiting, thereby meeting the traditional definition of a phobia. Some experts feel that a phobia of ghosts may be symptomatic of a more serious thought disorder, as it may constitute a form of magical thinking. Let’s try to break down the relevant issues. Batrachophobia: : Batrachophobia: Batrachophobia is an overwhelming, irrational fear of amphibians such as toads, frogs etc. The batrachophobic individual may be totally fearless with other reptiles such as lizards or snakes, but can be so compromised by this phobia, that they may not even be able to look at pictures of amphibians. People coping with this phobia may avoid ponds, streams, nature parks or anywhere that there may be a chance that they might encounter an amphibian. Acrophobia : Acrophobia Acrophobia is an abnormally excessive and persistent fear of heights. Aerophobia : Aerophobia An abnormal and persistent fear of flying is called aerophobia. This phobia generally develops after a person witnesses a plane crash or loses a family member in a plane crash or accident. Blood-Injection-Injury Phobias : Blood-Injection-Injury Phobias Blood-injection-injury phobias consist of several specific phobias including fear of blood (hemophobia), injury phobia, and fear of receiving an injection (trypanophobia or aichmophobia). Effects of Phobias : Effects of Phobias If left untreated, a phobia may worsen to the point at which the person's life is seriously affected. There may be periods of spontaneous improvement, but a phobia does not usually go away unless the person receives treatments. Alcoholics can be up to 10 times more likely to suffer. Causes and Risk Factors for Phobias : Causes and Risk Factors for Phobias It is thought that phobias run in families, or can be triggered by life events. Phobia sufferers have been found to be more likely to manage stress by avoiding the stressful situation and by having difficulty minimizing the intensity of the fearful situation. Signs and Symptoms of Phobias : Signs and Symptoms of Phobias Symptoms of phobias often involve having a panic attack as well as physical symptoms like shaking, sweating, rapid heartbeat, trouble breathing, and an overwhelming desire to escape the situation. How Are Phobias evaluated? : How Are Phobias evaluated? Many health-care providers may help diagnose phobias specialists whom you see for a medical condition, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. You may need to submit to a medical interview and physical examination. A phobia may be associated with a number of other mental -health conditions, especially other anxiety disorders. Routine laboratory tests are often performed during the initial evaluation to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms. Treatment of Phobias : Treatment of Phobias Exposing them to circumstances that are increasingly close to the one they are phobic. A second method is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps in changing the way of thinking of the sufferer. Slide 22: Three techniques to accomplish this goal: Didactic Component: This phase helps to set up positive expectations for therapy and promote the phobia sufferer's cooperation. Cognitive Component: It helps to identify the thoughts and assumptions that influence the person's behavior. Behavioral Component: This employs behavior-modifying techniques to teach the individual with a phobia more effective strategies for dealing with problems. Medications to Treat Phobias : Medications to Treat Phobias Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medications are often used to treat phobias. These medications affect levels of serotonin in the brain. Examples of these medications include fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), fluvoxamine (Luvox), citalopram (Celexa), and escitalopram (Lexapro). THANK YOU…. : THANK YOU….
