What is a Phobia??
Like I said before the meaning of phobia is an intense and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. When a person has such an intense phobia, it can lead to a very deconstructed life. When someone has such a deconstructed life it also leads to troubles in school, health problems, troubles with getting a job, etc.

The word Phobia: The phobia comes from the greek word phobos, which means fear. The name of every phobia has the word phobia at the end. For example Alto__phobia,__ which is the fear of heights, but as you can see the phobia is after alto.

Who discovered Phobias: A lot of people wonder who discovered phobias, as do I. The answer to that question is no one really knows who discovered phobias! There is evidence by the writings of Plutarch. He wrote something about Phythagoreans interpreting phobias as recollections from former lives, but the most famous sample of writing is the Roman demigod Germanicus, who exhibited phobic reactions.
