What is a clinical phobia?
Clinical phobiasPsychologists and psychiatrists classify most phobias into three categories[3][4] and, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), such phobias are considered to be sub-types of anxiety disorder. The three categories are: 1. Social phobia: fears involving other people or social situations such as performance anxiety or fears of embarrassment by scrutiny of others, such as eating in public. Overcoming social phobia is often very difficult without the help of therapy or support groups. Social phobia may be further subdivided intogeneralized social phobia (also known as social anxiety disorder or simply social anxiety).specific social phobia, in which anxiety is triggered only in specific situations.[5] The symptoms may extend to psychosomatic manifestation of physical problems. For example, sufferers of paruresis find it difficult or impossible to urinate in reduced levels of privacy. This goes far beyond mere preference: when the condition triggers, the person physically cannot empty their bladder.2. Specific phobias: fear of a single specific panic trigger such as spiders, snakes, dogs, water, heights, flying, catching a specific illness, etc. Many people have these fears but to a lesser degree than those who suffer from specific phobias. People with the phobias specifically avoid the entity they fear.3. Agoraphobia: a generalized fear of leaving home or a small familiar 'safe' area, and of possible panic attacks that might follow. It may also be caused by various specific phobias such as fear of open spaces, social embarrassment (social agoraphobia), fear of contamination (fear of germs, possibly complicated by obsessive-compulsive disorder) or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) related to a trauma that occurred out of doors.Phobias vary in severity among individuals. Some individuals can simply avoid the subject of their fear and suffer relatively mild anxiety over that fear. Others suffer full-fledged panic attacks with all the associated disabling symptoms. Most individuals understand that they are suffering from an irrational fear, but they are powerless to override their initial panic reaction.
How can the social phobias be eradicated?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the best treatment for most forms of anxiety disorders. Basically, most anxiety disorders involve avoidance on the part of the individual. That is, the individual avoids feared situations, very often due to cognitive distortions / errors such as catastrophising etc. The individual must consciously decide against using avoidance, then manage the physical sensations of anxiety and the automatic negative thoughts that arise. Over time, the exposure to social situations without the feared adverse consequences will result in reduced anxiety.
