Fear is an unpleasant and often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger.[1] Fear is completely natural and helps people to recognize and respond to dangerous situations and threats.
But to the person with the phobia, the danger feels real because the fear is so very strong. Phobias cause people to worry about, dread, feel upset by, and avoid the things or situations they fear because the physical sensations of fear can be so intense. So having a phobia can interfere with normal activities.
