Phobias are more serious than simple fear sensations and are not limited to fears of specific triggers.
Despite individuals being aware that their phobia is irrational, they cannot control the fear reaction.
Symptoms may include sweating, chest pains, and pins and needles.
Treatment can include medication and behavioral therapy.
19 million people in the United States have a phobia.
