Meaning, Types & List of Phobias

May 2024 · 21 minute read

Phobias are no doubt one of the major concerns plaguing every human, regardless of age, gender, orientation or sex. This is because everyone suffers from one or more phobias in their lifetime. It remains one of the most mental illnesses in the world today.

While some can tell what triggers or is responsible for their extreme anxiety and perhaps the name of the phobia, a handful know they suffer from one but don’t know the name of what they suffer from.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), it was found that between 8.7% and 18.1% of Americans suffer from phobias. Discriminating age and gender, phobias were found to be the most common mental illness among women in all age groups and the second most common psychopathy in men over 25. But then, what really is a phobia?

What is Phobia?

phobia is a fear of situations or things that are not dangerous and that most people do not find annoying. People who suffer from this problem recognize it as irrational, unreasonable and exaggerated but nevertheless avoid or try to avoid facing these situations or stimuli and this causes them great interference in their daily lives.

Most phobias begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. They can be caused by a stressful situation, a traumatic event or they can also be imitated by a family member who has a phobia and a child ends up making it his own.

When a person faces the dreaded stimulus (animals, heights, exams, social gatherings, etc.), severe anxiety appears that manifests itself with physical and psychic symptoms.

Symptoms of Phobia

The severe anxiety that appears in front of a situation to which the patient has phobia is manifested by:

Types of Phobia

Below is a list of phobia types:

Specific phobias can be defined as the irrational and overwhelming fear of certain situations and objects that, despite posing a small real threat, cause anxiety that in turn generates denial behaviors.

Types of Specific Phobias

  • Fear of certain situations: such as getting on a plane (aerophobia) or being in closed spaces (claustrophobia)
  • Fear of nature: as in the case of phobias of atmospheric phenomena such as lightning, storms and thunder or heights (acrophobia)
  • Fear of animals or insects: such as fear of spiders (arachnophobia) or dogs (cynophobia)
  • Fear of blood (hemophobia): or fear of needles and instruments that can cause wounds (belonephobia)
  • Other fears such: as clowns (coulrophobia) or belly buttons (omphalophobia)
  • Examples of Specific Phobias

  • The acrophobia or fear of heights.  It is the intense or irrational fear of encountering heights, even when there is no risk. The excessive sense of panic is likely to be experienced even at low height
  • The aerofobia or fear of flying.  It is the excessive and illogical fear of flying by plane that is related to the possibility of suffering an accident and the fact of not having any control over the situation
  • The claustrophobia or fear of enclosed spaces.  It is the excessive fear of being in enclosed spaces, especially if they are small and poorly lit. Those who suffer from it want nothing to know about elevators, subways, tunnels, telephone booths or door locks
  • The arachnophobia or fear of spiders.  Like the rest of the animal phobias (zoophobia), the one that feels towards the spiders is a phobia whose origin could be found in ancestral fears of those that allowed our ancestors to survive.
  • The androfobia or fear of men. People who suffer from this problem are afraid of being alone with a man, even if he is a friend or relative. He or she may have nightmares and cannot develop a normal life. In less severe cases, an androphobic person may appear normal with men but is always nervous and uncomfortable inside.
  • The hemophobia or fear of blood.  The individuals who suffer from it do their best not to be in situations where they anticipate that they will have to be in contact with blood, such as extractions. Its anxiety response pattern is different from the rest because it occurs in two phases: increased anxiety in the presence of blood (first phase) and rapid drop in heart rate and blood pressure (second phase).
  • How to Overcome Specific Phobias

    The best treatment for specific phobias is a mode of psychotherapy called exposure therapy. Although sometimes psychologists may also recommend other medications or therapies.

    Social phobia, also known as social anxiety, is the fear of being judged by others and feeling shame. The dread can become so intense that it makes it impossible for those who suffer to carry out such daily activities, such as going to work.

    Although all people feel fear or anxiety at some point in their lives, (such as when someone has just been met or when it is necessary to speak in public), social phobia goes much further.

    This panic is such that they stop performing the most common actions in front of other people,  eating or drinking in the presence of others or using a public restroom, becomes for them a kind of ” impossible mission ” that disturbs their peace.

    This uncontrollable fear often leads them to avoid events or places where they think they might be forced to perform acts that made them feel ashamed.

    Symptoms of Social Phobias

    It is common for people with this phobia to tend to:

    Social phobias are usually treated with psychotherapy, with medications or with the combination of both.

    Sexual Phobias

    Oddly enough, there are people who experience panic or anxiety crisis in situations related to sex (this fear is called Erotophobia).

    Erotophobia is the irrational fear related to everything that has to do with sex or the sexual spectrum and is a complex disorder whose symptoms are likely to vary from one individual to another.

    Its manifestations are very diverse because while some feel the fear of making contact with sexual objects, others feel real fear of sexual intimacy or, specifically, penetration.

    Erotophobia is a disorder that in turn encompasses other specific sexual phobias, such as:

    The wide range of phobic disorders in relation to sex and sexuality, makes the object or situation that gives rise to the phobia can change. However, their symptoms are usually common:

    Despite the variety of existing phobias, the truth is that the procedure to treat them is usually very similar in almost all cases. Since sex is a determining part of the person’s life but also affects the couple’s relationships, their treatment usually entails  a reinforcement for the improvement of self-esteem  and the correction of any beliefs that can interfere in subject’s well-being

    If there is a technique that has demonstrated real effectiveness in the treatment of phobias, it is systematic desensitization, which passes through the gradual exposure of the patient to the feared sexual situations, while providing him with the precise tools adaptive to address the phobic stimulus. Other effective techniques are cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis or Mindfulness.

    In those extreme cases in which the patient suffers too high anxiety, drugs can be used, which will always be accompanied by psychological therapy, not in any case being the only therapeutic option.

    Drive Phobia

    The drive phobia concerns us as a thought, sensation or impulse (which can even be visualized) that a person has or feels about the fact of being able to perform an action that in the end is not desired and that usually involves harming someone or hurt yourself.

    The striking thing about the drive phobia is that the person is knowledgeable and recognizes that he does not want to carry out the action that goes through his head, but he fears to get out of control and turn it into reality.
