Phobia is defined as an irrational and unreasonable extreme fear of a particular situation or thing that is not dangerous by nature and is not considered troublesome by other individuals. Anxiety disorders are emotional illnesses characterized by excessive fear, autonomic nervous system symptoms, and addictive and avoidance behaviors.
However, a person with phobia can show symptoms of intense anxiety during a particular situation or if frightened by specific stimuli.
