PHOBIAS
Phobia is present when you are frightened beyond more than the
situation or object would cause. And for these situations, there
may be absolutely no reason whatsoever for you to be afraid about.
It is just that your mind exaggerates the situation that you are
in and portrays it in such a way that causes you to think about
it in a different kind of way that makes you scare yourself. Hence
developing your intense fear for that particular situation or object.
With that development of raging fear, you would most probably avoid
getting into those situations that you are afraid about and stay
away from the object of your fear at all costs.
Research has shown that phobias are most commonly found in the
female population. First in the list of phobias that plague the
ladies is agoraphobia and zoophobia. Agoraphobia is the fear of
open spaces, this occurs three times as much in female than in males.
Zoophobia is the fear of animals, where 95% of zoophobics are females.
No wonder the majority of our vets are males.
