PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SPECIFIC PHOBIAS

Abstract. In modern times, phobias are increasingly observed in peoples daily lives Phobias manifest themselves in different forms in people. In the article we present, specific phobias and their forms of impact on people were the subject of extensive discussion. Specific phobias can have a long-term impact on peopleꜥs lives, and this impact intensively disrupts their forms of behavior in society. In conditions in which specific phobias occur, a constant feeling of fear arises, which has a very strong and negative impact on peopleꜥs social life.When a person encounters an object or situation that he fears, he always feels anxiety at the moment of fear, and this anxiety later manifests itself in the form of mental disorders.

Phobias connot control the phobias that have arisen in them. Because phobias are not based on any logic and are not subject to any rules. People who experience this type of phobia try to escape from situations that cause anxiety and traumatic feelings. Because these types of phobias disrupt peoples daily routines and at the same time have a strong impact on them both psychologically and physiologically. People who experi­ence phobic disorders use various incorrect treatment methods to eliminate the situation, which is unaccertable. Our purpose in writing this article is to investigate the causes of phobias that manifest themselves in different forms in people of different age groups and to use effective methods that will help in their treatment in practice.
