Answer:

Phobias, however, go beyond normal fear and are irrational. The fear could be an animal, object, place or Phobias are irrational fears of a situations, objects or things that interfere with a person’s life. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) identifies three different categories of phobias: social phobias, agoraphobia, and specific phobias. When people talk about having a phobia of a specific object such as snakes, spiders, or needles, they are referring to a specific phobia.
