Surely each of you has repeatedly encountered manifestations of unusual and inexplicable phobias – fear of heights, enclosed spaces, spiders, and public speaking. In psychiatry, this condition is called “phobia”, which in Greek means “fear”. The sense of fear is familiar to every mentally healthy person, it is a manifestation of the instinct of self-preservation and is able to warn a person about the danger. But sometimes this fear is completely unreasonable and even absurd from the point of view of normal people. However, a person suffering from phobias experiences an inexplicable and uncontrollable sense of fear all the time, cannot do anything with these feelings, suffers himself or herself and in some cases makes the people around him or her suffer.
