How do I know if I am suffering from a phobia?
assistant
A phobia is an irrational fear of something. If you are feeling anxious or uncomfortable when thinking about a certain object, place, or situation, then you may be suffering from a phobia. It can also be hard to recognize your own fears as being irrational, so it's important to talk to a mental health professional if you're having difficulty coping with a phobia.
