Concerned about bugs and other creepy-crawlies? Afraid of snakes because of their slippery appearance? In such case, you're not alone. Phobias are the most prevalent psychiatric condition among women and the second most common psychiatric illness among males.These phobias often manifest in young adulthood, though they may have their genesis in earlier childhood or adolescence. A lot more women than men are affected by them. Why people develop phobias is a fascinating topic of study, with potential explanations ranging from evolutionary to behavioural. No matter the origin, phobias are a treatable condition that can be managed or even overcome with the help of cognitive behavioural therapy and medication.
