The 10 most common phobias
A phobia is an uncontrollable fear of something that does not necessarily represent a danger. Palpitations, sensations of suffocation, trembling hands, cold sweats… being in front of the dreaded object is the guaranteed anxiety attack!
Agoraphobia
The agoraphobes suffer from anxiety in the crowd and, more generally, wherever they may feel stuck and not get help quickly if they feel bad. It is not so much the place that is feared but its configuration.
The fears most often mentioned in the context of this phobia: unconsciousness, fear of falling, having a heart attack, or going crazy.
The most feared places: cinemas, restaurants, shopping centers, churches, supermarkets, bridges, public transport, highways.
