A phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity that poses little or no real danger.

People with phobias often experience strong anxiety, may go to great lengths to avoid the feared thing, and can have physical symptoms such as sweating, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness.

Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder, and common examples include fear of heights (acrophobia), spiders (arachnophobia), or enclosed spaces (claustrophobia).
