Yes, they are. The author of Divergent, Veronica Roth, has a phobia of swarming animals, like her character Tris does. She also has a phobia of heights, like her character Four does.

The cure for acrophobia, or for phobias in general, is a program of gradual desensitization. In the case of fear of heights, try exposing yourself to just a little bit of height, and gradually increase the elevation that you can tolerate.
The phobia of clowns is called Coulrophobia.

Many people have phobias. Phobias are a excruciating fear of an object or situation. The most common ones are ophidiophobia which is snakes, arachnophobia which is spiders, acrophobia which is heights, and agoraphobia which is the fear of being unable to escape.
No there is not an episode which explains his fear of heights. Probably because it's a fairly common phobia and most phobias are not caused by an actual experience, but more from a psychological fear or mindset.
