A phobia (??) is a type of anxiety disorder, defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. The phobia typically results in a rapid onset of fear and is present for more than six months. The affected person goes to great lengths to avoid the situation or object, to a degree greater than the actual danger posed. Phobias can be divided into a specific phobia, social phobia, and agoraphobia. Types of specific phobias include those to certain animals, natural environment situations, blood or injury, and specific situations. However, the most common are fear of spiders, fear of snakes, and fear of heights. People with phobias are at a higher risk of suicide. Having this disorder of serious nature, Siddha Spirituality of Swami Hardas Life System wishes our reader to read this article carefully and check if you are affected.
Phobia Meaning (?? ?? ????)
A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. The phobia typically results in a rapid onset of fear and is present for more than six months.
Phobia Classification (?? ?? ????????)
Most phobias are classified into three categories and, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), such phobias are considered subtypes of anxiety disorder. The categories are:
Agoraphobia (???? ?? ?? ????)
A generalized fear of leaving home or a small familiar ‘safe’ area, and of possible panic attacks that might follow e.g. fear of open spaces, social embarrassment (social agoraphobia), fear of contamination (fear of germs, possibly complicated by obsessive-compulsive disorder) or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) related to a trauma that occurred out of doors.
Social phobia (??????? ??)
Also known as social anxiety disorder, is when the situation is feared as the person is worried about others judging them. Phobias vary in severity among individuals. Some individuals can simply avoid the subject of their fear and suffer relatively mild anxiety over that fear.
Unlike specific phobias, social phobias include fear of public situations and scrutiny, which leads to embarrassment or humiliation in the diagnostic criteria.
Specific phobias (??????? ??)
Fear of particular objects or social situations that immediately result in anxiety and can sometimes lead to panic attacks, which include:
- Animal type
- Natural environment type
- Situational type
- Blood-injection-injury type
A specific phobia is a marked and persistent fear of an object or situation. Specific phobias may also include fear of losing control, panicking, and fainting from an encounter with the phobia. Specific phobias are defined in relation to objects or situations whereas social phobias emphasize social fear and the evaluations that might accompany them.
Fear of heights (???????? ?? ??)
For instance, in case of the fear of heights, the CS is heights such as a balcony on the top floors of a high rise building. The UCS originates from an aversive or traumatizing event in the person’s life, such as almost falling down from a great height. In other words, the CS (heights) associated with the aversive UCS (almost falling down) leads to the CR (fear).
Phobia Causes (?? ?? ????)
Rachman proposed three pathways to acquiring fear conditioning: classical conditioning, vicarious acquisition, and informational/instructional acquisition.
Phobia Diagnosis (?? ?? ?????)
It is recommended that the terms distress and impairment take into account the context of the person’s environment during diagnosis. The DSM-IV-TR states that if a feared stimulus, whether it be an object or a social situation, is absent entirely in an environment, a diagnosis cannot be made. An example of this situation would be an individual who has a fear of mice but lives in an area devoid of mice.
Phobia Treatment (?????? ?? ?????)
Some among various methods used to treat phobias, which include:
- Systematic desensitization
- Progressive relaxation
- Virtual reality
- Modeling
- Medication
- Hypnotherapy
Various Therapies (??????? ????????)
CBT (??????)
Gradual desensitization treatment and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) are often successful, which may be conducted in a group.
Ann Marie Albano developed another CBT program to treat social phobia in adolescents. This program has five stages:
- Psychoeducation
- Skill Building
- Problem Solving
- Exposure and Generalization
- Maintenance
Systematic desensitization (????????? ?????????????)
A method used in the treatment of a phobia is systematic desensitization, a process in which the people seeking help slowly become accustomed to their phobia, and ultimately overcome it. Traditional systematic desensitization involves a person being exposed to the object they are afraid of overtime so that the fear and discomfort do not become overwhelming. This controlled exposure to the anxiety-provoking stimulus is key to the effectiveness of exposure therapy in the treatment of specific phobias.
Modeling therapy (??????? ????????)
Participant modeling, in which the therapist models how the person should respond to fears, has been proven effective for children and adolescents. This encourages people to practice the behaviour and reinforces their efforts. The main difference between participant modeling and systematic desensitization involves observations and modeling; participant modeling encompasses a therapist modeling and observing positive behaviors over the course of gradual exposure to the feared object.
Virtual reality therapy (????? ?????????? ????????)
Virtual reality therapy is another technique that helps phobic people confront a feared object. It uses virtual reality to generate scenes that may not have been possible or ethical in the physical world. It offers some advantages over systematic desensitization therapy. People can control the scenes and endure more exposure than they might handle in reality. Virtual reality is more realistic than simply imagining a scene—the therapy occurs in a private room and the treatment is efficient.
Phobia Medications (?? ?? ???????)
Medications can help regulate apprehension and fear of a particular fearful object or situation. Antidepressant medications such as SSRIs or MAOIs may be helpful in some cases of phobia.
SSRIs (antidepressants) act on serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Since serotonin impacts mood, people may be prescribed an antidepressant.
Sedatives such as benzodiazepines may also be prescribed, which can help people relax by reducing the amount of anxiety they feel. Benzodiazepines may be useful in the acute treatment of severe symptoms, but the risk-benefit ratio is against their long-term use in phobic disorders. This class of medication has recently been shown as effective if used with negative behaviors such as alcohol abuse.
Beta-blockers are another medicinal option as they may stop the stimulating effects of adrenaline, such as sweating, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, tremors and the feeling of a pounding heart. By taking beta-blockers before a phobic event, these symptoms are decreased, making the event less frightening.
Hypnotherapy (??????? ????????)
Hypnotherapy can be used alone and in conjunction with systematic desensitization to treat phobias. Through hypnotherapy, the underlying cause of the phobia may be uncovered. The mind represses traumatic memories from the conscious mind until the person is ready to deal with them. Hypnotherapy may also eliminate the conditioned responses that occur during different situations.
Phobia Epidemiology (?? ??????? ???????)
Phobias are a common form of anxiety disorder, and distributions are heterogeneous by age and gender. An American study by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found that between 8.7 percent and 18.1 percent of Americans suffer from phobias, making it the most common mental illness among women in all age groups and the second most common illness among men older than 25.
Between 4 percent and 10 percent of all children experience specific phobias during their lives, and social phobias occur in one percent to three percent of children and adolescents.
Women are nearly four times as likely as men to have a fear of animals (12.1 percent in women and 3.3 percent in men) — a higher dimorphic than with all specific or generalized phobias or social phobias. Social phobias are more common in girls than in boys, while situational phobia occurs in 17.4 percent of women and 8.5 percent of men.
A scientific study (????????? ??????)
A Swedish study found that females have a higher number of cases per year than males (26.5 percent for females and 12.4 percent for males). Among adults, 21.2 percent of women and 10.9 percent of men have a single specific phobia, while multiple phobias occur in 5.4 percent of females and 1.5 percent of males.
Phobia Terminology (?? ????????)
Medical use of the terminology (???????? ?? ???????? ?????)
The word phobia comes from the Greek: ????? (phóbos), meaning “aversion”, “fear” or “morbid fear”. The regular system for naming specific phobias to use a prefix based on a Greek word for the object of the fear, plus the suffix -phobia.
Non-medical use of the terminology (???????? ?? ???-???????? ?????)
A number of terms with the suffix -phobia are used non-clinically to imply irrational fear or hatred. Examples include:
- Chemophobia – Negative attitudes and mistrust towards chemistry and synthetic chemicals.
- Xenophobia – Fear or dislike of strangers or the unknown, sometimes used to describe nationalistic political beliefs and movements.
- Homophobia – Negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).
Usually, these kinds of “phobias” are described as fear, dislike, disapproval, prejudice, hatred, discrimination or hostility towards the object of the “phobia”.
