What does arachnophoia mean?
Arachnophobia is an intense and irrational fear of spiders and other arachnids. Individuals with this phobia may experience anxiety, panic attacks, or extreme discomfort when encountering spiders, even in pictures or videos. It's one of the most common specific phobias, often leading people to avoid situations where they might encounter these creatures. Treatment options include therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and exposure techniques to help manage and reduce the fear.
