A phobia is an intense and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity that poses little or no real danger. While fear is a natural human response, phobias go beyond typical worry — the anxiety can be overwhelming and may lead individuals to avoid everyday situations. Common phobias include fear of heights, enclosed spaces, flying, needles, or certain social settings. These fears can interfere with work, relationships, and overall quality of life.
At Wellness Whisper Psychiatry, we understand how deeply phobias can affect daily living. Our approach focuses on helping individuals identify triggers, manage anxiety responses, and gradually regain confidence and control through compassionate, evidence-based care.
