Submit Phobia

Medindia allows you to submit phobias that may not have been listed on its website. Many people have 'butterflies' in doing something ordinary and this maybe due to a phobia.

Most doctors (esply. Psychiatrist) and psychologist divide phobias into three different categories:

Social phobias � these maybe performance anxiety eg fears of walking into a store or making a phone call. They fear an emotional rejection.
Specific phobias - fear of a something very specific, like flying, cats, spiders, cockroaches and so on.
Agoraphobia � this requires medical help. This is a generalized fear of leaving home and the panic attack that may follow. It comes from Greek word and it means "a fear of the marketplace". Claustrophobia is a fear of confined spaces.
