We all deal with fears and phobias at some time or another in our lives. Some fears such as death or danger are important to our survival as human beings and are very necessary. Others such as the fear of animals usually has its roots in an actual similar event. Once a fear interferes with a persons ability to rationally cope with their environvent, it then becomes a phobia. Here is a detailed distinction between a fear and a phobia:
A Fear is an emotion of varying intensity aroused by a recognised and logical threat and involving the fight or flight response. It aroused a feeling of unpleasant tension and a strong impulse to escape as well as certain physiological changes.
A Phobia is an excessive, unrealistic and/or illogical or uncontrollable fear elicited by an object, situation, or activity. It usually involves strong physiological and emotional responses.
