Specific Phobias Panic Disorder

What is it?

If you are very afraid of a specific situation like needles, bugs, bees, thunderstorms, heights or flying, then you might have a specific phobia. These usually start around age 7 and can be about any situation, object or being. They make it hard to cope whenever you fear being near the thing you fear.

How we treat it?

Successful therapy is usually a short course of exposure therapy that teaches you how to encounter triggers without startling, fleeing or freaking out.
