The first common phobia is claustrophobia. Those who suffer from claustrophobia tend to avoid certain places and situations that would involve them in confined spaces or narrow paths. Chances are that a claustrophobic person enters tight spaces or narrow paths will start to experience anxiety attacks or panic attacks. People who suffer from claustrophobia prefer to climb 10 or more flights of stairs rather than take the elevator. Someone who suffers from claustrophobia is not afraid of narrow or closed spaces, they are afraid of what would happen in narrow or closed spaces. A claustrophobic is terrified by the feeling of being trapped. Some people who suffer from claustrophobia experience an excessive sense of vulnerability when they have less ability to move. It's that a person's fear of confined spaces is a dark fear of being trapped in ways that prevent them from escaping when they feel threatened. 3 out of 4 cases of claustrophobia are not serious and professional help is not necessary. The minority of cases requiring help cannot be entirely attributed to lower levels of fear. Survey data shows that severe claustrophobia affects 2 to 5% of the population, few of whom, the majority of the total, seek professional help. The second common phobia is agoraphobia. Agoraphobia refers to a related and overlapping group of fears, phobia of leaving home, fear of entering shops, crowds and public places, or traveling alone on public transport. Many agoraphobic people are terrified of being in a situation that would leave them defenseless in public and block their exit. It is clearly true that panic attacks are characteristic of most agoraphobic people. There are two types of agoraphobia: with a panic attack and without...... middle of paper......she of a learned fear. Sources have shown that between 2 and 5% of the general population suffers from acrophobia, twice as many women are affected than men. Depending on the severity of the acrophobia response to certain stimuli, acrophobia can be a state that greatly hinders a person's life. While acrophobia may seem like a completely harmless and even logical fear. The amount of fear in many is often out of balance compared to the danger they could hypothetically be in. When they are placed at a height that they find very unpleasant, they are more likely to enter a state of panic and distress which, strangely, can make it more difficult for them to get down unharmed. The limitations in the daily life of a person facing severe acrophobia can essentially be quite massive, and the acrophobia only increases as the height of the building increases.
