Back to Phobias
The term phobia, which comes from the Ancient Greek word for fear (f?Я??, fobos), denotes a number of psychological and physiological conditions that can range from serious disabilities to common fears to minor quirks.
Phobias are the most common form of anxiety disorder. An American study by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found that between 5.1 and 21.5 percent of Americans suffer from phobias. Broken down by age and gender, the study found that phobias were the most common mental illness among women in all age groups and the second most common illness among men older than 25.
The opposite of the suffix -phobia is a -philia or -philie (meaning "love of").
