'A Phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or animal.  Phobias are more pronounced than fears.  they develop when a person has an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object.  If a phobia becomes very severe, a person may organize their life around avoiding the thing that's causing them anxiety.  As well as retricting their day to day life, it can also cause them considerable anguish.
