Detailed explanation-1: -Specific phobias typically are fears of particular objects or situations. The most common simple phobia is the fear of animals, like dogs, snakes, mice and insects. Other common specific phobias are fears of heights, fears of flying and fears of enclosed spaces.
Detailed explanation-2: -A phobia is an extreme and irrational fear of an object or situation, which is disproportionate to the actual danger involved, and leads to avoidance of that object or situation. A fear becomes a phobia when it begins to be maladaptive, i.e. when it begins to interfere with everyday life.
Detailed explanation-3: -People who have gone through adverse life events (unemployment, bereavement, traumatic events) are more likely to develop depression.
