Phobias
A lot of individual, suffer from one kind of Phobia or the other. Just as the saying that one mans poison is another mans meat, what may be phobia for me may not be for you.

There are many type of phobia but it is not possible for me to discuss all. Thus I will only discuss a few types of phobia common in our day to day life activities.
What actually causes phobia? According to listofphobias.org, Phobia is an emotional disorder, caused by an interaction between biological and environmental factors and such factors include emotional trauma, disturbances and unpleasant situations that often become adapted to a person’s memory. These unpleasant memories are converted to fear after some repetitions of the same situations and consequently make the person to become phobic.
Treatment of phobia could be in form of Psychotherapy called cognitive behavior therapy. Cognitive behavior therapy may involve exposure therapy. In this type of therapy, the individual gradually work up to face the situations he or her fear most. This allows the individual to become better skilled at coping with these Anxiety-inducing situations and to develop the confidence to face them.
The other type of treatment involves the use of medication, Below are a few types of phobia:-
