The three types of phobias are social phobia (fear of public speaking, meeting new people, or other social situations), agoraphobia (fear of being outside), and specific phobias (fear of particular items or situations
Although phobias often go underreported, the statistics for people who have phobias are thought to be more than 6 million people in the United States.
The average age that phobias begin is about 10 years of age.
Women tend to be twice as likely to develop a phobia compared to men.

Answer:
A phobia is an irrational fear of something that's unlikely to cause harm. The word itself comes from the Greek word phobos, which means fear or horror. Hydrophobia, for example, literally translates to fear of water. When someone has a phobia, they experience intense fear of a certain object or situation
