Psych 1 Phobia project
Social phobia, called SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER, is often catalyzed as a fear of speaking, eating, or performing tasks in public. Social phobia is described as the fear of being watched or judged. Symptoms include blushing, profuse sweating, trembling, nausea, and difficulty talking when in the presents of others. NIMH estimates that social phobia affects about 5.3 million adult Americans. Women and men are equally likely to develop social phobia. Social disorders normally start when the person is a child and can be inherited. My next phobia is agoraphobia which is defined as the fear of wide open spaces, crowds, or uncontrolled social conditions. Agoraphobia is sometimes mild or can, in rare cases, be so severe that leaving even a room could cause a panic attack. As far as treatments go there are medications and therapies design to help people with the phobia. Medications and therapies include the “exposure therapy” were the person who has agoraphobia is exposed to crowds and open spaces. Medication wise antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications are used to treat agoraphobia.

Symptoms of these phobias include women Feeling of panic, Feeling of terror, Feeling of dread, Rapid heartbeat, Shortness of breath, Trembling, and Anxiety when in contact or close to a male or female.

Symptoms of bathophobia include dry mouth, heightened senses, breathlessness, feeling dizzy, muscle tension, hyperventilation, trembling, rapid hate rate, feeling of being trapped, feeling of being unable to escape, and the instense feeling of impending disaster. My sixth phobia is the fear of flying called Aviophobia. This is not the same as the fear of heights. Although a fear of flying can be caused by a fear of heights or even a fear of small spaces. The fear of flying is considered to be one of the more serious phobia.
