PHOBIA

Phobia (from the Greek, Phóbos, meaning "fear") is a type of anxiety disorder rooted in the normal fear response.
FEAR or PHOBIA? The main difference is in the severity of the emotional reaction: a strong dislike of flying is a fear, whereas a pathological fear (an intense, uncontrollable, unendurable, physical fear) is considered to be a phobia.
