Phobias are irrational fears of certain objects, animals, or situations, and they can be so crippling that people will go to great lengths to avoid them. While most phobias can be treated with therapy or medication, there are some cases where they are so severe that the person is unable to function normally. If you're one of the many people who suffer from a phobia, don't feel ashamed or embarrassed - you're not alone.
