Phobias
Phobias occur in several forms. A specific phobia is a fear of
a particular object or situation. Social phobia is a fear of being
painfully embarrassed in a social setting. And agoraphobia, which
often accompanies panic disorder, is a fear of being in any situation
that might provoke a panic attack, or from which escape might
be difficult if one occurred.
