Phobia is characterized by an intense, persistent, and irrational fear of specific situations, activities, objects, or persons. The fear experienced by individuals with phobias is typically disproportionate to the actual danger or threat posed by the feared stimulus. Those with phobias often undergo significant distress and preoccupation related to their fear, going to great lengths to avoid the object or situation that triggers their anxiety.
